That code does not mean the converter is bad always, it could be but you will need to have a scan tool and possibly pull the transmission to figure it out. There is a TSB from GM about this code, you can read it here. If it is the converter parts and labor could run about $1500-$1700 from a dealer and $200-$300 less if an independent shop does it.

If the dealer does not repair it you may want to find a AAA approved transmission repair shop in your area.

let me know if I can help further.

Good luck,

Bob
