It's an odd beast that tip. Mine does what you describe but only in 1st when on starting on a hill. No codes,no leaks, fluid level is fine. I replaced the electric harness inside the pan 2 years ago when I was getting the D-4. Transmission works fine in manual mode flailing through the gears on the track, just that one little gremlin. Keep us posted on what you find. Note that fluid level is important and sometimes needs to be adjusted ( read topped up) after a fluid change as the ATF works it's way through the system.
