I plugged my OBD scanner to my car and I get the following reading " no power-train in DTC's or stored in the computer". The check engine light is on with the car running I get the p1810 code.I changed spark plugs and the code went away. I am also in the middle of changing the TFP "valve position switch circuit" but I want to know what does "no power-train in DTC's or stored in the computer" what does that exactly mean?

It looks like a bad translation. Probably should read "No DTC's stored in the computer" See this type of stuff in many of the Chinese made tools.

P01810 can be a difficult code to vanquish. I have found that many times it is not the internals but the way they ran the transmission harness allowed it to rub through and sets the code. Check the harness from the transmission real close.
