Sure do, you'll hear a chime and a dash light will come on. Pretty sure it is this one.

I just purchased the Torque Pro app for my phone along with a bluetooth obd adapter. 6 bucks for the app and 13 for the adapter. I can view almost every sensor in the jeep and then some! Try it. I bought it all mainly for the trans temp but there is sooooo much more!

Side note
Dont look the the test results you will go insane trying to decipher the mode 06 codes.

Do you actually see a value for the transmission temperature?
I have a Scangauge plugged into my OBDII port but it doesn't display the transmission temp.

Where can I buy this Torque Pro device?

if you feel frisky, you could always install a gauge with a sensor either in the pan, or in the cooler line, whichever is your school of thought. I installed a nice one in my 99 XJ and was surprised by what actually raised trans temps, and what cooled them off. I need to add one to my KK. Probably when I do a trans service and install a PML pan.

nice pan, I gotta check into that. I know theres been a lot of debate about fluid capacity and larger capacity is no better and it takes longer to cool off but, just look at your heavy duty or commercial equipment, theres a reason the fluid capacity is tripl or quadruple that of a normal machine.
