Make sure you get a code scanner that does OBDII, CAN, and ABS. A lot of transmission shops will charge you a service fee to retrieve codes (~$75 - 100), so buying your own code reader makes sense, however the better ones can be $200 or more. You could also try Autozone or Advance for a free code scan.

Thanks for your help ,I appreciate your input.I'd not thought about the CAN&ABS.I just figured id better check it out4myself,God knows there's solenoids,sensors,band adjustment,servo,Etc.So ty4 the heads up with scanner.I'll try AutoZone. (Wasnt sure of they'd do read on it ,w/o check engine light.?)Anyhow,"Thanks,its good to have a forum to go, with so much enthusiasm&help.

Autozone is an expensive place to buy a scanner lol, Harbor Freight is cheaper, or Amazon or even Walmart has them.
