Is there a way to pull the CV codes on these Van's without a reader/scanner?

I was just coming home and my transmission failed on me. When starting up a hill in 3rd gear, it downshifted but only revved. I lost forward movement. Since I was coming home, mostly downhill, i made it to the top of this Crest and stopped. It didn't move on it's own. I coasted downhill to get it started. When I got it fast enough for 3rd it would move. The low gears seemed gone. Any suggestions?
