In a nutshell .
I changed the oil/filter myself as I've always done , howeverrrrrr...This time when I started the car and backed up out of the cold garage
these lights all came on ,
check engine light .
XMode light ,
cruise control light ,
brake light in the Speedometer ( not the parking brake light in the Tachometer )
and sometimes the AT Oil Temp light and the Vehicle Dynamics Control warning light .
Now car won't move forward without almost bucking , reverse seemed ok for 12 feet .
Coincidence possibly / probably , but it's a weird one .
Any ideas ?
Thanks all . . .
 
Coincidences are rare...especially if a human just touched the thing that is failing. lol

Did you disconnect something and forget? Maybe leave a tool that got caught in something or cut a wire loom?

Time to get looking with a bright flashlight.
 
Thanks bmart.
I had the same thoughts .
Later I put a scanner on it and came up with 2 trouble codes both referring to a Transmission Control module .
Going down that rabbit hole now.
Cleared the codes but they came back . Cleared them again, they have not come back yet , but the car still "bucks" in
a violent manner . . . Packing my bags .
Thanks all for looking
