I don't have any of that wizardry unfortunately.

So is this 'Transmission Function Limited' fault one that is logged? Will Mazda guys will see it when I take it in when all is working fine.

My experience (amateur) is that the car can go into limp mode as PCM or TCM decides, but not set a permanent diagnostic trouble code (DTC). The code may be cleared after restarting. In other words, no, your mechanic may not see a code. My car went into limp mode because the PCM decided there was a turbo system problem. I pulled over and looked at the code which was P2263. I then limped home for 30km, switched off and the code was cleared until next time two months later. This time I knew what to do, ie switch off and on. If I fixed the turbo issue time will tell (replaced turbo vacuum control solenoid). No transmission problems though.

Glitches do happen though. My wife's Mondy has had one EML relating to an oxy sensor which has not yet recurred since 04/15 (marvelous records!)

bugger. So I wonder what the dealer will say/do if there's no way to prove there's been a problem? Its booked in for Monday 7/3

Maybe I should get one of those BT adapters. where from?

Edit. anyone know about adapters/apps for iPhone. I can only find forscan lite, which seems like it need a OBD2 WIFI adapter. I guess that'll do?

Exactly, that's the problem as I see it.

No experience with i phone, just android.

I wonder if this $25 fella would do the job well enough.

Maybe. Any experience? Another thing to consider is if MS CAN is supported. Service at Ford will cost you more, just plugging in to IDS twice.

Another factor is whether or not you will have a flat battery after a few days. The scantool OBD MX has battery saving technology.

The OBDlink MX will not fit under the plastic dash trim though, you need a low profile right angle adapter and some plastic ground off. I forgot to mention that. This is really another thread though?
