Instruments and Controls
TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE
ENGINE
This message displays and
four chimes sound if the
transmission fluid temperature
rises above 132°C (270°F) 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 110°C
(230°F). The transmission fluid
temperature can be monitored with
the gauges button on the DIC. See
DIC Operation and Displays under
Driver Information Center (DIC) on
page 5 28 and Automatic
Transmission Fluid on page 10 23.
Also check the engine coolant
temperature. If it is also hot, see
Engine Overheating on page 10 34.
