I don't have it - yet. I wasn't there when the shop read it, and not
being very familiar with ECUs and trouble codes, my wife didn't think to
ask him for it. I called the shop today to find out what it was, but
they'd closed up early (it's a small shop and the two owners are the
sole employees). FWIW, I trust this shop implicitly - they are
knowledgable and honest, so I'm absolutely certain they're not trying to
sell me an expensive transmission repair I don't need.

I'll post the code when I have it. It's been two days and the CEL hasn't
come on again yet after being reset.
