SOURCE: hard transmission shift from 1st to 2nd after hot drive
make sure you maintain trans fluid, may be low or very dirty. get serviced,
SOURCE: VERY HARD SHIFTS AFTER ENGINE IS WARM.
Your going to have to get the car scanned for the DTC code. The Check engine light indicates that the ECM has detected an issue with the cars engine or transmission performance. Your hard shifting could be the failure to the Pressure control solenoid (PCS), that would be a DTC code P1811. The PCS is located under the trans axle side cover assembly. IF you go to Auto Zone, they can scan your car free of charge and can give you the step by step instruction to replacing the part that may have failed. Good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.
SOURCE: traction control light on, no cause, needs service?
This is usually due to corroded/broken wires near the wheel bearings and axles. I would get it to a shop to see which wheel is throwing the code and then check connections and wiring. You may have accidentally bumped the button that turns the traction control off. it is on the front of the stowage compartment on the center console.
also remember that the light is always on when you are in reverse!
SOURCE: How hard is it to change alternator and thermostat
Those are both hardy parts that should last close to 100,000 miles, but if you need to replace them it's not real difficult, especially since there's plenty of room under the hood. The alternator is a matter of 3 or 4 bolts. Remove the plug-in wire harness from the alternator, loosen the adjuster bolt to take tension off the belt, then remove the mounting bolts and pull the alternator. Reverse the steps for the install. For the thermostat, follow the upper radiator hose to the point where it enters the engine. The hose is connected to a metal housing that's bolted to the engine. Unbolt the housing from the engine to expose the thermostat. Lift the thermostat out, remove all traces of gasket from the housing and engine, then install the new thermostat and gasket.
