You got the first two steps correct in scanning for the trouble codes and
finding out how to check the ****ft solenoid circuit.
The next step is to check the circuit as described in the articles you
found.
If the transmission fluid hasn't been changed in a long time, then the car
may need a transmission service, but that is unlikely to cure the problem,
which is an electrical problem.
