Get yourself an ELM-27 OBD-2 bluetooth adapter off NewEgg or Amazon and spend the $6 for the Torque app for a smart-phone or tablet (assuming you have one, of course...) You can monitor the trans temps and check the code yourself when the light comes on and know with confidence what's triggering it. You can also monitor the torque converter slippage to help determine if that's happening/getting worse with time. (My guess is that it is) I've been watching mine for this issue for a while now (and I'm happy to report I've not experienced it thus far)

Why would you have to leave it idle? When the light is on a code is stored in the computer. It will stay in memory for about a month after the last time it flashed. If they tell you they can't read it when the light isn't on, they are right, they can't. A competent tech can, but they can't.mosseater wrote:
On a brighter note, I found several references to the same fault display and one guy who had his fixed. Turned out to be a temp sensor in the pan. Unfortunately, they dropped my pan and changed the filter when they did the last trans service. Hate to go back in just for a sensor. If I can find out which one and where, I might give it a go myself. After that spark plug fiasco, this should be a breeze.
You're going to start changing parts based on what was wrong with somebody else's vehicle? Good luck. There are at least 50 different reasons that the light could be on. You could spend thousands in replacing good parts before you get lucky and change the right one. Get the codes read and then I can help you find out EXACTLY what's wrong.
