Why is my jeep making a ticking noise

P2017 is related to intake manifold runner control issues. This is not a transmission concern - so, that's good for you, but you cannot eliminate a transmission concern based on what is not known before testing is performed. Hands on testing is required to find out what's going on with the set code, and whether related or not, you should have your ticking noise looked at as well.
