comes back on when the vehicle is started,

Automatic Transmission Fluid
It is not necessary to check the transmission
fluid level. A transmission fluid leak is the
only reason for fluid loss. If a leak occurs,
take the vehicle to your dealer and have it
repaired as soon as possible.
Change the fluid at the intervals listed in
Maintenance Schedule 0316, and be sure to
use the transmission fluid listed in
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0320.
Caution
Use of the incorrect automatic
transmission fluid may damage the
vehicle, and the damage may not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Always
use the correct automatic transmission
fluid. See Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0320. There is a special procedure for checking and
changing the transmission fluid. Because this
procedure is difficult, this should be done by
your dealer.

filter at the next oil change, follow this
