My escort is a 3 speed overdrive (automatic) that seems to shift fine until driven about 30 miles or so, then it will downshift or not shift out of second. The transmition has been replaced once, but it is still doing the same thing.

I ran the codes and it showed 4:
Engine coolant temp. Circut high input;
TCC Mechanical noise or stuck in "off" position;
Throttle/Pedal Position sensor/switch A circuit low input;
TP sensor out of range low.

I couldn't find anyone at the parts store who could tell me what "TCC" is in reference to.
