Re: Couple of problems I need help with

Can anyone help identify the problem....and solution. The car seems to be running great, not problems at all, the CEL has been taken care of but still the 16 flashes. One a whim I changed out the resister by the battery since I had an extra sitting around, but no change. Thanks in advance.
I'm guessing that maybe on the 96 and 97 years, the AT oil temp light flashes to signify a code instead of on the earlier models it is the power light that flashes also 16 times on start up to signify a transmission code.
