The problem is the heating and cooling of the TCM. That causes circuit board flex and cracking of the solder joints. Move the TCM to the firewall so it does not get as hot as it would sitting on the hot transmission!

Weirdly enough I have 260 000k on my mazda and my Tcm didn't go bad until I was at 256 000, been driving it since .. if you pull over and turn vehicle on and off my light will sometimes turn off and vehicle run good again.. don't be fooled if you have any problem with electric car you not going to be able to fix a damn thing...
