I posted on your other thread, let's stay on this one. Are you referring to the shifting issues? What I posted in the other thread is if you're going to want to continue repairing your own vehicles, it would be wise to invest in a higher end scan tool so you can scan the entire vehicle for any trouble codes, there may not be any codes stored in the ECM right now, but there might be some stored in the Transmission control module or other modules that a basic OBD2 scan tool cannot access. Those cheap code readers only scan the engine computer for codes, and modern vehicles have many modules in them, so buying a decent scan tool that can read live data from any module will be a huge help. That way you can see if any sensors or data readings look out of place, the ECM will try to compensate as much as possible before setting a trouble code, this is where learned values come into play, I use multiple scan tools as well as oscilloscopes, and a range of different multimeters and testing equipment. It's impossible to tell what might be happening with the vehicle if you have no codes for one, but also no way to see what the engine data is. A sensor can be bad and not set a code all the time, right now you're having shift issues, so it can be a problem in the transmission such as line pressure not being correct or electrical issue with the shift solenoids, none of these will show up on a basic Global OBD2 scanner.
Like I posted in your other thread the Autel mx808 is a less expensive scan tool, but it can scan all the modules in the vehicle, as well as some special functions, there's too many to list, Topdon is coming out with great scan tools now, I own their lowest level scan tool and it does all kinds of bi directional controls, such as activating components on the vehicle for testing.
Back to the vehicle, you mentioned having issues at 40 and 60 MPH, which might have something to do with the torque converter clutch lockup, or not unlocking when it should. Once you're at a cruising speed and the crankshaft speed and transmission input shaft reach the same speed, the torque converter clutch will lock up so it's a 1:1 ratio to help improve gas mileage, but once the engine rpm and transmission input shaft start to differ in speed the torque converter clutch should unlock. So, it might be an issue with the torque converter or the solenoid that controls it or even just the overdrive in the transmission. Here's a couple guides on transmission hard shifts and clutch packs slipping.
Also at the bottom is a link to the Autel mx808, this version is even better than the one I have right now. And the price has gone down at least $100. But you need to be able to see what the engine computer is seeing and doing, as well as scan the transmission control module for codes. The shifting problem has nothing to do with the Vent valve, I'll take a look for any TSBs or recalls on the transmission and post them here.
