The Car will go into limp mode because its old and everything uses poor connectors. Because all pins and copper oxidize and nobody ever checks their relays, the connections inside the relay will just let go if there is no power to make the magnetic force pull in closed. This then sends an error in proper connection to the ecu, turning the light on and shutting the electrical portion of the transmission off. It will also go on if there car stalls unexpectedly. There is also 2 messages from the transmission light a light on is limp mode and a light blinking an actual problem. You need to check every connection and relay.
