Normal Transmission Operation
1. TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH (TCC).Application conditions: Engine coolant temperature must be above 70°C (158°F).
Moreover, TCC is ON in 2nd gear during kick down operation when engine coolant temperature is above 70°C (158°F).
Also, TCC is always ON in 2nd, 3rd & 4th gear when transmission oil temperature is above 140°C (284°F).
2. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID (ATF) WARNING LAMP. The ATF warning lamp will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil temperature is above 140°C (284°F). The ATF warning lamp goes off again when the transmission oil temperature is below 130°C (266°F).
3. SPECIAL SHIFT PATTERN WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD: A special shift pattern is activated when the engine coolant temperature is below 70°C (158°F). (3-4 shifts for example are delayed for small throttle openings and will occur a few MPH higher)
