Default 2002 Sebring will not shift out of first gear

2002 Sebring LXi had been showing no problem. Started car after it had set for two weeks. Check engine light came on immediately. I then noticed transmission was not shifting up from first gear. Had computer scanned after finding 0700 code on dash readout. Was told I had a defective Transmission Control Module. Found a replacement online that was refurbished and was set up for my VIN and mileage. After installing the refurbished TCM the engine light was off, transmission shifts fine. Problem solved. A key to this repair was getting the scan to determine the component that had failed. I would have guessed the Transmission Control solenoid, and I would have been wrong and wasted some money.
