AT light and check engine light on

My daughter recently purchased a used 2006 Mazda 3 with 82,000 miles on it. I checked it over thoroughly before her purchase and everything seemed okay including fluid levels. Three weeks later she has had the check engine and AT lights come on. The owners manual suggests electrical problems with the AT. I have read other forums that have suggested that the AT solenoid may be stuck open. Some suggest AT fluid has leaked or is dirty. She is at college 100 miles away and I am going tomorrow to check out her problem. Any suggestions on what I might be looking for? I am pretty knowledgeable about cars in general and have always worked on my own when I can. No familiarity at all with Mazda so any help would be appreciated.
 
My 06 had the same problem except that shifting the trans was also affected.
Mazda had to install a new transmission module.
Works great now.
Bob.
