Check the electric radiator fan, if vehicle heats up at low speed then it sounds like the fan is not working! at high speed the air going through the radiator cools the engine. Check the fan out! God-Bless! Hope this helps you. or check to see if you have a bad fuse for the fan or relay is bad and will not turn on fan.

What color smoke white means coolant, blue means oil, black means burning too much gas. Who did the head gasket? Check for oil in the coolant. This could mean a bad head gasket install or a cracked block. If you have blue smoke you have worn piston rings

The fuses should be located in bcm. The bcm access panel should be on the right side of center console. The wiring diagrams were with and w/o amp. I didn't know which one you had.

You need the BCM scanned for fault codes that might explain this symptom, I am sure something is in memory of the module.

The first thing I'd check is the level of the transmission fluid. Make sure the vehicle is level, and is up to normal operating temperature. Check It while it is running. If it's low, there's your problem. If it's okay, then you may need to change the transmission fluid and filter. The transmission filter is similar to a filter on an A/C unit. Like a screen to catch the junk in the fluid. It's located inside the transmission pan on the bottom of the vehicle. If you do it yourself, make sure you use the right type of transmission fluid. Filters and fluid are relatively inexpensive to replace.
With all of that being said, all of that information was for an automatic transmission. Not for a standard transmission. If your transmission fluid level is okay, and doesn't need changing. Take heart, that doesn't mean you're looking at a complete transmission replacement either.

Try getting the transmittion serviced. that would be the best first step
