Limp Mode: Do any places rent out a DAS scanner?
After replacing the transmission pan gasket and the electrical connector, I am having some new transmission problems. First, I had a pan bolt that wouldn't torque down because the hole was stripped but that is now fixed as of yesterday. Now this morning, I see a small puddle of trans fluid under the car and think, hmm maybe another bolt I missed I'll look at it tonight. Well on the way to work this morning, the car starts shifting weird and goes into limp mode 
I had it towed home and I see the leak is coming from the back of the trans pan, not sure why but all bolts are torqued. I checked the fluid level and it is still between the marks at 80 deg C on the dipstick so not low or overfilled.
Do you know of any place I can rent a DAS/Star scan tool to reset this out of limp mode to see if it comes back? Also, any ideas of what could be causing this. The only code from the OBDII is P0715.

I could be wrong but I don't think anyone will let you rent a STAR Diag system. You will either have to find an Indy that has STAR or have it reset at a MB dealer. I would call around and ask a few places.
