A leak by it's self won't trigger a code as the trans computer has no way of knowing there is a leak.

Yes, for that year, the 38 pin underhood plug gives full access to the trans computer. You might get some trans data through the engine computer using the under dash OBD 2 connector but it might be limited..

I have symptoms of the shifter though. Hits hard when selecting a gear like a broken trans. That's what I have read.
When in limp mode, line pressure goes high as a fail safe, this will give a bang

Love the car just want it to work properly.
There are many issues that can cause the trans to go into limp so reading codes / live data is vital.
