After a 2+ hour trip, we took off from a stop light and the check engine light came on, the Traction Control disabled light came on, and the car would not shift above 2nd gear-automatically or manually.

After sitting for 30 minutes, started car & check engine light was still on. After shifting to drive, TC light came on and shifting problem seemed to resume.
