You could be more specific with the issue:

• Transmission type (Manual/Automatic)?
• How did this issue appear?
• Does the car change gears normally?

Your car seems to be an automatic transmission model?
So the fault code is "Gear 3 Incorrect Ratio"

This means that you may have:

• Low transmission fluid level or dirty transmission fluid
• Faulty or dirty shift solenoids
• Transmission mechanical problems
• Transmission hydraulic control circuit issue

Here is a link hope it helps

P1550 "manufacturer controlled speed metering"
Basically the code means the ABS module either lost communication or there is a fault in either front WSS's.
You need to get a scantool to access the ABS to really diagnose it.

A code p0455 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

• A loose or improperly affixed gas cap
• A non-conforming gas cap (i.e. not factory/original brand)
• Other leak or damaged piece in EVAP system

With a p0455, the most common repair is to:

• Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the codes, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
• Otherwise, replace the gas cap, and/or
• Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses (you may hear a vacuum noise or smell fuel), repair if necessary

I think that you have a contaminated or bad Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor. It's located by the engine air filter housing. You can get a used one online for less then 100.

po455 could actually be a loose or deffective gas cap

disconnect the battery for 5 minutes or use a scan tool, the scan tool is prefered method.

the p0720 code is a common code in every car...it has to do with an issue in the transmission. what exactly i dont know how to answer that.

the other two codes are vehicle specific codes which means the manufactur made these codes specifically for this vehicle and it has something to do with the PCM-auziliary devices..

Hope that gets you started

Actually I believe the code has something to do with fuel.. the P0237 means Powertrain (P), the 0 means its a common code throughout all vehicles not manufactur specific and the 2 means Fuel , the 37 is the specific code and says the problem usually that i dont know off hand but if theres like a lack of power or you know this is creating a misfire i would start out by checkin fuel pressure [pressure, pump, rails] and then fuel delievery [injectors].

hope that gets you started or an idea maybe


ps a turbo is something you usually install yourself so the car shouldnt be equipped with a turbo sensor...i dont think that exists
