Code 34 is map sensor low voltage there is no 34 for transmission the only code 47 i saw was for anti lock brake's and it's for left front motor circuit current low.So does that scan tool able to read abs code's?Also do you have a multimeter?I don't see why you would loose the speedometer from the code's you have listed.You don't have a code 11?

DTC PARAMETERS

DTC 34 is set when information from the PCM/EC is not being received by the PCM/TC.

* Some PDT or SSS tests such as a QDM test, PCM reprogramming, or adaptive reset may cause DTC 34 to set.

TEST DESCRIPTION

IMPORTANT: Record all PCM diagnosis diagnostic trouble codes/information flags and include with repair order.

* Clear all diagnostic trouble codes/information flags, test drive the vehicle and if DTC 34 resets, replace the PCM.
TEST DESCRIPTION

* If this code is present and the only customer complaint is driveability, replace PCM.
This second one is for code 47 in the transmission.
The first one is for code 34 in the transmission usually when you get code's in your transmission you will get a code 11 flash out on your service engine soon light that code mean's you have transmission code's.
