TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE
This message displays and four chimes sound
if the transmission fluid temperature rises above
270°F (132°C) or rises rapidly. 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. Monitor the transmission
fluid temperature and allow it to cool to at least
230°F (110°C). The transmission fluid temperature
can be monitored with the gages button on the DIC.
See DIC Controls and Displays on page 208 and
Automatic Transmission Fluid on page 345. Also
check the engine coolant temperature. If it is also
hot, see Engine Overheating on page 350.
