I had this exact same issue - AT Oil Temp light flashing, "BRAKE" light flashing, and a solid traction control light. Guy at the transmission shop spent an hour looking at different code combinations. He finally said "Aha! AT Oil temp, Brake, traction . . . . It's your valve body. It's going out."

I have had the same issue a few times, so it's the valve body going out on mine. Or do you think I should take it to a Transmission place to get looked at and if so what was the price that you pain for the problem to get fixed? Thank you.
