What is wrong if your check engine light came on and your transmission shift?

In: Check Engine Light

[Edit]

Answer

Your car has an electronically controlled transmission. The computer will trip the Check Engine light when a problem is detected in the transmission. First check the fluid level as outlined in your owner's manual. Do Not Overfill!!!! If the fluid level is OK, then take it to a transmission expert and have it looked at.
