That's a communication failure between the engine controller and transmission controller. Could be a bad ground or something more serious. (Sometimes Jeeps of the same vintage will develop that fault.) Here's a link to an explanation of the problem, and  a simple fix on a Jeep that was successful, you may get lucky and find something similar. (You always want to start with the simple stuff first.)

It comes and goes then it comes back on and it goes off for a while I have changed the tcm


Sounds like you may have a wiring or grounding problem as described in the links. I'd look into that before replacing any other components.

Sounds like an electrical fault. Could be a real pain to track down honestly.

Could it be the instrument cluster they are known for having problems
