    When my cel/tranny light came on they were able to read it. In my case it was a transmission slippage code that I still get from time to time during long highway drives. My trans still shifts fine and has been doing this for a couple years now.

    The code is p1870 which is transmission component slipping.
    Said it could be low fluid, or component failure. Thats not much to go on, and I was hoping that it would be a common problem that someone knew just what to do about it.
    I think that the P.O. had the codes cleared just before I showed up for it. The cel came on when I was driving it home from purchasing it. That was the egr, which is common and easy to fix. Yesterday evening the cel and check tranny light came on. I was making a scenic drive with my wife to look at the fall leaves up in the mountains. Probably a 100 mile loop or so. It may just be something I learn to live with until it starts to actually show some simptoms.
    I will pull the fill plug and make sure it is full of fluid. I am planning on doing a full filter and fluid change on the tranny this weekend.
    I appreciate the help.
