on my M1123 the trans shifted but the light stayed on, problem was the RPM sensor on the front timing cover was not connected. without that signal to the TCM, trans light stayed on and the torque converter defaulted into lock up. suggest checking the sensor and connections.

truck off.
open extra port on front of TCM (under left rear seat).
Bend a paperclip and stick the ends into A and E. One of the other holes is hot, so aim good.
Get pen and paper.
Turn start switch to run position, watch light. It will blink a series of numbers. Write them down. It will do each code 3 times.
it will blink 1-2-1-2-1-2. That is 12, codes will blink next, if any. Then follow with 1-2-1-2-1-2, then repeat again.
If the engine is cold, you can unplug the TSU or GPC to stop the glow plugs from warming up.
Tell us what codes you get.
