Its possible the transmission is running to hot bring down the temperature sensor voltage too low. Could also be a short to ground on the signal wire coming from the computer. it runs a 5 volt signal wire and when the trans fluid is cold the computer sees high voltage as the fluid heats up this voltage slowly gets pulled down.. like an engine coolant temp sensor
