trouble shifting

I had a problem with my 2009 screw the other day, while driving the transmission seemed to have difficulty shifting, the trouble light came on the dash (small wrench appeared in the on board computer screen) it was hesitating while driving and was not downshifting properly. I stopped the truck and turned it off then started it again and i have not experience the issue since. The previous night I had drawn down the battery quite a bit doing some tailgating. Any ideas on what this problem is

With all the Electronics these days, battery charge is REALLY important.
When you shut it off, and restarted, the computer reset and battery was probably close to full charge.
When starting each time, you should hesitate after turning key to first notch, give cpu time to initialize, then start the engine.
Good lesson learned!!!
And it didn't cost you anything!!!!
