The level of risk depends on how the vehicle is currently running and how long you've been driving with the light on.
Common causes of P28F7

How to fix P28F7
These are general steps for this system. The exact cause depends on your vehicle — confirm with live scan data before replacing parts.
- Check transmission fluid level and condition first
- Read transmission-specific codes with a scan tool capable of module diagnostics
- Watch commanded vs actual gear states and speed sensor data while driving
- Test solenoids and sensors for opens or shorts
