Official summary

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician for multiple concerns including service engine soon light, reduced power, no crank or start, multiple warning lights on, transmission shifts hard, or the door locks cycle while driving. The transmission control module or engine control module may not communicate with the scan tool. This could be caused by unseated pin or pins in the transmission connector. The technician should inspect the transmission connector X1 terminals by disconnecting it and carefully tugging on each wire to ensure the pins are fully seate

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
