Its stating that there is a problem on the tranny side. You need to pull the code and tell us what it is.
Pull up the passenger side carpeting, and read the number of blinks from the tcu's led.

i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine. -

The transmission control computer is a known problem on these cars. Pull the codes and see what you get but the TCU is more than likely failing. A sensor or shift solenoid will also cause this but it usually will not come and go.
Here is a good thread on the subject,

Mine was the TCU and a rebuilt unit repaired it.

I was gonna post how to pull the codes, but he beat me to it. I'm not sure if the service connector needs to be jumped to check the tcm codes, I can't recall from memory, so I'll go look it up.

Question If I Swap To Standard 5 Speed Is That Worry Over For Me???? Meaning Will I Ever Have To Worry About This AgainComment
-
Yes, because a 5spd does not need a separate ecu to control the way how it shifts since you are the one in control. However, prepare to incur add'l costs as a 5spd swap can be costly depending where you go, otherwise if you do it yourself, you will save yourself big change.Originally posted by bori2010 Toyota Camry LE 2.5L - the most boring car ever
