On amazon they sell a basic code reader for about 20 and a more advanced one for about 50 something.Have you changed the fluid on that transmission like you should?

P0507 is high idle I would look for a vaccuum leak first.Code P1500 is vechile speed sensor signal malfunction could be the wire or the sensor.Do you have a multi meter to do some testing?Code P1624 is from the transmission computer to the engine computer to turn the check engine light on.
