Possibly cam sensor on it's way out, the 2.2 petrol Achilles heel that throws up transmission codes for fun

Need the gearbox (and ABS) codes read as well.  Could be a heap of things, without the data we are simply guessing.

just had a new gm cam sensor fitted what are the odds that if may be a duff 1

reason I ask the day I got if back from the garage the management light came on so I took it back next day to ask him to check the codes but the problem was he hadn't cleared them from before but the only fault code were for the cam sensor  :'(
