All I need to do now is find someone with one of those scanners. Could
it be one of the sensors in the tranns? I do have a spare 45-rfe with
all the sensors sitting in the garage . If so what would but the order
of likely sensors to try swap out?
I would like to sell the spare 45-rfe, but would feel better getting
this issue taken care of 1st.
Thank
Don
