3 If a warning lamp illuminates
•
Transmission fluid temperature warning
lamp
This lamp illuminates if the automatic transmission
fluid becomes excessively hot. If the lamp illumi-
nates while the vehicle is in motion, pull over at the
nearest safe place, put the range selector lever in
the “N” position, and run the engine at slightly
higher than idling speed to cool down the transmis-
sion.
If the warning lamp goes out, it is safe to continue
driving.
If the warning lamp does not go out, or if it repeat-
edly lights up, you must have your vehicle repaired
by an authorized dealer.
While cooling the transmission, perform the follow-
ing inspection:
1. Check that the electric fans on both sides of
vehicle are operating.
2. If the fan is not operating, check the fuse;
replace it if blown. P. 13-10
Check the oil cooler for mud or other dirt, and
clean it if necessary. P. 12-87
3. Check the automatic transmission for fluid leak-
age. If any leakage is found, call an authorized
dealer for repair.
• Transmission warning lamp
This lamp illuminates when there is something
wrong in the transmission’s electronic control sys-
tem.
If it illuminates when the starter key is moved to the
“ON” position, but then goes out after a few sec-
onds, this means the electronic control system is
working properly.
If the lamp illuminates while the vehicle is moving,
drive to a safe place and stop.
WARNING
Never touch the fan even if it is not turning.
The fan could suddenly start operating and
cause injury.
