Hi guys,

That to me would be either a speed sensor or the ABS itself. Test the speed sensors to see if they are working correctly.

I would check the connectors to see if they are good May need fixing or cleaning up also I would fix the fluid low issue. I'm not understanding how they think it's the TCM? The DSC codes would directly affect the transmission. They need to troubleshoot

TCM issue would show a transmission fault on the CCC. I would also have a look at your battery and alternator to ensure they are good. I'm saying this by looking at your messages it seems odd and that's when you normally have a battery and/or alternator issue
