To display codes cycle the ignition key On-Off-On-Off-On within three seconds. Check engine light will start to flash - Count the number of flashes, first digit, pause then second digit will be displayed in a series of flashes. (2 flashes, pause, 1 flash = 21)

55 End Of Codes

These codes are good for years 93, 94 and 95.

The above procedure will work for 96 and up but be aware an OBD II scanner will be needed as the above codes could have multiple meanings.

I have seen a few threads asking for this and the link in the faq is not working.


Transmission codes for 42re and mabye others, same routine but displayed via the overdrive light.

11 - Engine RPM Input
12 - Output shaft sensor input
13 - Vehicle speed input
14 - Governor pressure sensor input
15 - Throttle position sensor input
16 - Transmission fluid temp input
17 - Overdrive override switch input
18 - System voltage
19 - Internal fault in module
21 - Governor pressure solenoid output
22 - Overdrive solenoid output
23 - Converter clutch solenoid output
24 - Overdrive override lamp output
25 - Internal fault in module
26 - Governor pressure sensor offset drift
