Default Gearbox fault on '05 Vander Plas

"Gearbox Fault" light just went on in my '05 Vander Plas with 70K miles. Any suggestions on how to manage this item? Is this light telling me I'll need a new transmission soon? Is the dealer the best place to go? I'm seeing a lot of TCM posts, and possible moisture from leaking tubes.

How old is your battery?

No idea, Mark. Is that a potential cause for concern?

If it's the original battery, that would be a concern. Autozone can check it for free.
Then you need to get your codes read, that will give you a better idea of where to start.
