If you scan it, it will be throwing codes for the shift solenoids. Check your ENG CTRL fuse under the hood to make sure it is not blown.

I checked both the 15A and the 50A.
Neither is blown...

I used my dad's scanner at his house. I do not have one at my house.

I had the same problem, that's why I asked. It was an electrical short coming from the solenoids to the fuse box.

So, I took the car for a ride this morning. It still has the SES light but the car is driving normal again. Most likely it is a tuning issue then?

Yes, probably. Scan it and see what the code is for, and let me know.
