It may..
I found this on there site
Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep Testers : Linear Logic : Home of the ScanGauge
If i understand it correctly, the device can detect firmware ver of PCM and TCM for some testing there doing. So it looks like It can talk to the TCM.

I use my scangaugeII to monitor Transmission temps in real time. Not sure if that means it's talking directly to TCM or not.

I put an email into there support staff regarding the ability to pull/retrieving TCM codes.

So soon as I hear something back I'll post it on here.

that FANTATIC appreciated muchly

Alrighty,
Here's the response I got from there Support.

"The ScanGauge will only read and clear trouble codes that cause the check engine light."

Now, I never had any tranmission issues so.. Does the KJ turn on a seperate indicator for transmission issues?

How are you getting it to report transmission temps? Can't find it on my Scanguage II for my 03

I added an X Gauge in to read the trans temp. I used one of the codes on this page if I remember correctly.
Dodge Specific : Linear Logic : Home of the ScanGauge

Now.. My 06 KJ has a CAN computer system. Your 03 might not. My fathers 05 KJ doesn't have a CAN system b/c the code for trans temp doesn't work on his and the code I inputted is ment for a CAN system.

To find out the system your KJ is using at the main menu of the Scangauge select MORE > MORE > MODE

This link here will have all the available codes on there site. However, by the looks of it. Only the Dodge-Specific page has a code for trans temp and like I said, that is CAN only.
X-Gauge Commands : Linear Logic - Home of the ScanGauge

Now you can always google search for a code and see if someone made a custom code that works.

Hope this helps.

I just bought an Innova 3160, $180 on Amazon. I got that one so I could do airbag codes on my Acadia.. but I connected it to my 03 KJ and I see ECM and TCM data, including some live data from the Liberty. I have 24 live data feeds it reads. Over 40 on my 08 Acadia. Including trans temp.

No doubt the Solaris is a nice scanner.. but it seems overkill.

I have an elm 27 bluetooth and torque. It works with my 07 liberty. Not sure about tcm info as mine is a manual transmission.

This is what I use.
ScanTool.net LLC - OBDLink SX USB Scan Tool - OBD-II Adapter | ScanTool.net - ScanTool.net

Pretty much a basic link to a computer. Comes with the basic software to read and clear codes etc etc. BUT I have other software that can do much much more!
