Default Threw a Code-What is it? HELP

My check engine light came on. Checked the code with my Hypertech. It says DTC is P1870. What is that? Found code from Vett Dr. It says "Transmission Component Slipping" DO I HAVE A PROBLEM? Car and Trans.(A4) seems to be fine.

Thanks "Wild Bill" from 40769

Check your trans fluid level.
Slipping tranny is never good reset the code see if it comes back.

From what I understand you can't check your trans. fluid. Maybe post this over in the Tech blog....
