The error codes for the transmission and engine are separate from the OBD diagnostic codes you can read with a inexpensive scanner. Those codes are primarily for the emission control equipment or related. The transmission codes can be read with a SDS or similar.

The transmission goes into one of two different 'Limp Home' modes in order to protect the transmission from additional damage.
