TRANS (Transmission) HOT IDLE
ENGINE
Notice:If you drive your vehicle while the
transmission uid is overheating and the
transmission temperature warning is displayed
on the instrument panel cluster and/or DIC,
you can damage the transmission. This could
lead to costly repairs that would not be
covered by your warranty. Do not drive your
vehicle with overheated transmission uid
or while the transmission temperature warning
is displayed.
If the transmission uid in the vehicle gets hot, this
message will appear on the DIC along with a
continuous chime. Driving with the transmission
uid temperature high can cause damage to
the vehicle. Stop the vehicle and let it idle to allow
the transmission to cool. This message will
clear and the chime will stop when the uid
temperature reaches a safe level. See
Transmission Temperature Gage on page 257.
TRANS (Transmission) IN WARM UP

When temperatures are very cold, the transmission
will prevent certain operations such as shifts to
some ranges and engaging the torque converter
clutch to protect against damage. When active, the
DIC will display the message TRANS IN
WARM UP.
