Check engine light and Trans OD flashing

It's been quit sometime since I have posted here, but I have a problem I need help with. Yesterday I noticed my check engine light was on but my van continued to drive / run fine, today I get in a start to work and check engine light is still on, but the overdrive off light is blinking and it doesn't go into overdrive, however it seemes once I drove for about 3 miles it stopped flashing and went into overdrive, check engine light stayed on. After I would stop and park and come back, it would do the same thing, any ideas? The van is a E-250 cargo van Thanks in advance for any help.

OK, I FINALLY got it scanned and I got :

Pressure control
Solinoid a
Circuit low

I assume that is something in the transmission, if so is it easy to repair?
Thanks
