I am getting a "service engine soon" and "service transmission" warning on my car. I took it to AutoZone to pull codes, and while I have unfortunately lost the readout, I remember him saying that the code simply said to check transmission wiring. It drives fine, so I don't really know what direction to look in.

Hello,

Can you get another readout of the Direct Trouble Codes (DTC)(s) again, please? If we have the DTC's we can give you specific directions on how to fix your vehicle. Please get the DTC's and get back to us.

Thanks,
Alex
