Seems to be saying there is a recall on the Throttle body. "Silent recall" they don't want to tell you about it.

2096 is just an oxygen sensor issue

No big deal

I don't see any codes as the worst

You have to diagnose them all & learn as you go,
every day,every vehicle,every problem,or get out
of the car business

From now on Google your codes

Type: OBD P2096

OBD & any code sometimes a vehicle

You do realize we have had codes since 1981
some 35 years That should be long enough to
learn what to do when you get a MIL Lamp on the dash

I would start with the fluid level and condition. 731 & 732 are improper gear ratio for first and second gear. 720 is faulty output speed sensor, which makes sense with improper gear ratios.

Code P0700 just means the trans computer has a code. You need to have the trans computer read to get the trans code p0034 the rubber turbo hose to the inlet manifold which had a small split in it causing it to loose pressure these codes will not make your car not start check battery to see if its dead again does the engine turn over at all when you put battery back in car is terminals tight

Check with the dealer they may supply a dummy AC pulley which replaces the AC pulley and allows the normal belt to be used

code 40-
Possible causes - 1/1 And 2/1 O2 sensors harness circuit shorted
- 1/1 And 2/1 O2 sensors harness circuit connectors (wrong connection)
- Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) P0040 CHRYSLER Description At ignition on the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) checks the voltage on the ground side of the O2 sensor harness connector. If voltage is higher than two volts the P0040 code will set. code 41- Possible causes - 1/2 And 2/2 O2 sensors harness circuit shorted
- 1/2 And 2/2 O2 sensors harness circuit connectors (wrong connection)
- Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) P0041 CHRYSLER Description At ignition on the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) checks the voltage on the ground side of the O2 sensor harness connector. If voltage is higher than two volts the P0041 code will set.

CODE P1296 - 5 VOLT VREF SUPPLY NOT PRESENT - POSSIBLE CAUSE MAP SENSOR VREF CIRCUIT OPEN BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND PCM / MAP SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN BETWEEN THE SENSOR AND PCM / MAP SENSOR IS DAMAGED OR HAS FAILED / PCM HAS FAILED.
