Transmission Messages
SERVICE TRANSMISSION
This message displays when there
is a problem with the transmission.
See your dealer for service.
SHIFT TO PARK
If the vehicle has an automatic
transmission, this message displays
if the vehicle is not in P (Park) when
the engine is being turned off. The
vehicle will be in ACCESSORY.
Once the shift lever is moved to
P (Park), the vehicle will turn off.
The vehicle will remain in
ACCESSORY, without the 20 minute
time-out period, until the shift lever
is moved to P (Park) or until the
driver presses the pushbutton to
restart the vehicle. See Ignition
Positions on page 9‑20 for more
information.
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 5‑25 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.
