Default Downshifting at higher speeds

Okay so I have a 2003 protege, with 150,000km on it fresh oil change just before this problem occurred. I was driving on the highway going about 80-90, and it started downshifting automatically and putting my revs through the roof, and the AT light came on flashing on the dash. I want too sell the car but I want too fix this problem before selling it cause everything else is perfect in the car and I don't wanna screw over the person who buys it.

Have the codes pulled. There is one in the PCM if the light came on.
