Summat to do with the Gearbox/Transmission.  Any odd behaviour on the car?  Done any work on it including an adaption reset?

Nothing useful on Google.

Hi Richard

Nothing I would say was odd with the car, not done any kind of reset with the adaptions using the software, I don't the foot on accelerator one ages ago, but I know that's only a temp reset. Searched Google and nothing has come up, I cleared the code and it went away, will drive the car about for a week and then check again and see if anything comes back up

May help to know what you are driving?
Different boxes may have different errors . also what code reader you used.
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
