I was unable to get the van started at first, then I jiggled the key in the lock cylinder and it finally turned and I was able to start the vehicle no problem. I recommend a lock cylinder. I hear noise when braking so I recommend a brake inspection as well. I hooked up the scan tool and found codes for transmission issues. PO700, PO741, PO796, and P1258. Then ya have PO449 which is evap related. Last code is CO755 which is for the TPMS issue. I cleared the codes and test drove the vehicle and the transmission shifted just fine. I was unable to duplicate the customers concern regarding the transmission issue once I cleared the codes. I removed the pan and these metal shavings are in the bottom of the transmission pan.
Tested the blower motor with power probe, the blower works and is getting 9.9V which is less than it should be getting. I tested the blower motor relay, and it is receiving 12.6V which tells me the blower motor is going to require being replaced.
COURTESY INSPECTION FOUND: this cover for the fuses is missing.

Started the vehicle and disconnected the hose that is connected to the internal pcv valve and found vacuum from the hose leading from the intake to the valve cover. I recommend removing the valve cover to inspect the baffle and the internal pcv valve this may require replacing the valve cover to fix the issue.
COURTESY INSPECTION FOUND: low transmission fluid when vehicle is running. (Fluid not on dipstick , looks like work has been done to transmission lines, no fluid present on pan only up front at transmission cooler lines. Added 1 quart to transmission then ran the transmission through all its gears, level is okay now)Low brake fluid (at min. Line) (rear shoes are at 2mm or less) leaking rack. Power steering fluid is at cold line. Leaking shocks in rear.(Seeping on right rear shock only)
Removed valve cover left side only. PCV valve isn't functioning properly. Will be replacing valve cover and installing new valve cover gasket and tightening up the new cover to specification 106 in. lbs. Test drove and found no further issues.

Scanned vehicle for codes and code p015a (oxygen sensor 1 delayed response rich to lean),& p0420 (catalyst system low efficiency) stored in memory researched vehicle repair history and found we addressed this code in October and did replace oxygen sensor 1, further research on this code in repair information indicates a oxygen sensor resistance reset / relearn procedure is required after replacing the sensor and this was not done, performed oxygen sensor relearn procedure and recommend customer use vehicle for a few hundred miles and if code does not return we can ignore the p0420 code.
