[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1040296, member: 74901"] Yes, to work on your own vehicle, or at least have an idea of what's wrong before a shop screws you to the wall, you need your own OBD2 scanner, one that reads both StandardSAE & ProprietaryFord codes. The blinking OD OFF lamp indicates a TroubleCode for the Tranny is stored in the PCM (main computer). This is a ProprietaryFord code; the typical free\cheap scanner at the PartStore will only read StandardSAE. Trying to use the PartStore scanner to fix a vehicle sitting in your driveway is fairly impractical. I have an OBDLink# MX+ BlueTooth scanner that works with my DroidPhon + several Apps ($100), & an OBDLink# EX USB scanner that works with my WindowsPC + ForScan App ($50). There are cheaper\lesser options & many more expensive options. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
