Error Code P O 983 In 2006 Tacoma Pre Runner

[Toy3x3]

Hello,
When I was driving the check engine light came on. I didn't notice anything wrong while driving. Once I got home I used a scanner to find out was is wrong. The scanner found out error code P O 983 Shift Solenoid e Circuit High.
Any ideas what that means and how to fix it?
Thanks

Is it shifting smoothly? Basically it's sensing a problem in one of the shifting solenoids that can cause a mis shift.

Make sure all your grounds are good, and clear the code by disconnecting the battery to see if it comes back. Here's another site talking about the same issue. 2006 Toyota Tacoma ODB II code P O 983 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

That particular code comes up quite often on these trucks, many have referred to it as a phantom code.
I don't believe in phantom codes, theres a reason codes pop up even if the issue exists for only a micro second. Something bothered the system enough to trigger the code.
Unfortunately the issue has been elusive for many to this point.

These sites for discussing exchanging problems and information are great. Though it becomes a guessing game as to the type of truck, age, miles, and location. So many people assume to do no maintance on it, drive it until an idiot light comes on. Then for the first time post a problem and it become a 50 question game. I've notice many other people chime in with the same issue, now it becomes a room of who who you're talking to, to resolve the original person with the problem.
