Tranny valve body swap now EP

As stated just finished off the vavle body swap on my recenlt aquired 06 mcs 6 speed. Swap went great and found out it had almost 7x the fluid its supposed to have in in before i swapped it out. Tested it, works smooth as butter, did fluid elvel check and got some extra fromt he 5q i put in out from the pan after warming it up.

Tonight i start the car to drive it to work and it instanyl has EP on odometer, ask the wife about it (she has been driving it the last 2 days) if she had noticed it before and she hadnt. So is this just something that i need tog et to the dealer to get scaned to see what my code is? or is there a trick to pulling codes i diodnt see in the noobie section. I never did get it flashed after the swap because it drove so smooth that i figured it didint need it, and each day its getting even better with itself.

Any help appriciated. No other lights on the dash have come on, and i did also swap out for a cold air intake at the same time as vb sawp because stock intake hose had a tear in it near supercharger. All the original plugs for evap system still plugged intot he main hose, used that section still.

Thanks all

l after getting fuel on the way home this morining, after stopping at the mini dealer and making an apt to have her seen first thing monday morning, the light is gone. Has not come back on tonight and is still driving great. so iether lose gas cap or kinda looking at the battery. Read over on mini2 forums on my google searching that can be to blame for EP (end program) code. As it take more effort to start the computers have a delay coming to life and it throws the code, or so i read, and it makes sense. So i guess that will get on the list of things to replace before the dead of winter hits hard.

spokem to soon, EP is back on as of yesterday night. Was backing into a spot here at work and when i went from revers to drive it flipped the EP code again. As of when i parked it today its still on, going to call rev-max monday morning and see what they recomend i do, get it flashed or if they feel its something on there end that is causing a problem. just looking for input at this point.
