I will do... Although it's able to connect with my phone (it's a Bluetooth reader... Probably should have bought a regular reader)... I think it's just a rubbish reader.

I just checked the code with the ignition on/off 3 times trick... P 1740 so it's likely to be related to the blocked trans coolant line. I'll fix that then see if it comes back. BTW the trans fluid is high... Is this a symptom of a blocked coolant line? The fluid looks and smells normal.

The blocked coolant line is likely the result of a clogged/plugged check valve that's in the factory cooler line. Take a look at this thread on how to remove the check valve and bypass it - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...46rh-46re.html

I removed my check valve from the transmission line when I installed my rebuilt 46RE transmission a few months ago. Lots of folks have had issues with the valve clogging, so I didn't want to take a chance of trashing a newly rebuilt transmission.
