At a guess, you put the vehicle in reverse, and the PCM compared the
input and output shaft RPMs on the trans and detected a mismatch
between the expected gear ratio and what you're actually getting.

Any idea what the cause is? It seems to "slip" in any gear. Have to
raise the rpm to get it to move. Thanks for the reply.

TC problem would be my first suspect. You did reconnect all the wire
harnesses? Were the replacement parts known-good or pulls?

Yes, only removed the connection to the MLVPS. All parts were from
NAPA or dealer.
