Could also be NSBU switch. When does this happen, under hard acceleration? What codes are you getting?

It probably is still a limp mode then. There are different stages of limp modes depending on how severe the request is. If you can read the codes the trans is throwing to get the p0700. p0700 is just a MIL illumination request.

Your best bet is to back the tuner down and save for a Suncoast III or IV.
