Problem, when you are stopped, then press on gas and turning left, the anti-slip warning flashes for about 3 seconds then transmission kicks in, as driving lower gears shift fine and hit 2,500 to 3,000 RPMs it acts like slipping on
flat road but going uphill it will hesitate and will shift into gears, come onto flat road it starts with slipping again.

Hi,

The idea that the vehicle thinks it's slipping (spinning a wheel) could be related to a few things. First, have you checked to make sure the transmission fluid is clean and full? Here is a link that explains in general how to test it.

Also, there could be something related to a wheel speed sensor. Are there any other lights coming on? Have you had the computer scanned for diagnostic trouble codes? If you haven't done that, it would be a good idea.

Here is a quick video showing how it's done:

Let me know what has been done. Also, let me know if you get a chance to check the transmission fluid condition and level.

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,

Joe
