how do u read the codes i know the check engine will flase but how do u know what the code is by that
Clicking on the "reading VX trouble codes" link I included in my last response will take you to a thread that explains the procedure for reading codes and determining what they mean.
I just had the same problem as rureadyto 69.
I had no trouble codes on the dash...but once I quickly accelerated uphill at a speed to pass some "sight seer"
all of a sudden my "check engine and check trans" lights started flashing. I parked it overnight for a few nights and when I started it up the same codes were still flashing. This is not the first time it happened. On a trip to Autozone, the code reader said to check the PVC valve or the wires that connect to it (Check Trans " light wasn't on that time. So I bought a $150 new EGR valve (which I have yet to install). And just as suddenly as it started the "check engine" light went out.
Someone out there has the expertise to answer this question, I'm sure. What are we to check or fix when each of these lights come on.
Thanks

Sounds like you might have a short someplace. I’d check the wires going to your O2 sensor, if it’s reacting to moisture then that’s probably your best bet. Your transmission problems on the other hand, it sounds like it needs to be serviced. Reading thru the thread I didn’t see that your had done that. I might have missed it.
