this message is displayed. You should check the engine
coolant temperature and engine oil level. If your engine
is too hot, see "Engine Overheating'' in the Index. Your

If the transmission fluid temperature rises above 263°F
(128°C) or rises rapidly, this message is displayed. The
transmission may shift gears or apply the torque
converter clutch to reduce the fluid temperature. Driving
aggressively or driving on long hills can cause the
transmission fluid temperature to be higher than normal.
If this message appears, you may continue to drive at a
slower speed. You should also monitor the transmission
fluid temperature and allow it to cool to at least 230°F
(1 10°C). The transmission fluid temperature can be
monitored with the GAGES button on the DIC. See
"Automatic Transmission Fluid" in the Index. You
should also check the engine coolant temperature. If it is
also hot, see "Engine Overheating" in the Index.
If the HIGH TRANS TEMP message is displayed
during normal vehicle operation on flat roads, your
vehicle may need service. See your dealer for an
inspection.
