Q: Check Engine light on
I brought my car for inspection and it failed due to the check engine light. It's showing a P0740 and P1456 codes. I went to my regular mechanic and said that I need to replace my transmission! About a month ago, I was there for an oil change and a transmission fluid replaced. My maintenance required went off but then the check engine light went on? I'm asking for a second opinion. Thanks!
