Manual Shift Overheat

THEORY OF OPERATION:
Transmission and engine temperatures are monitored during vehicle operation. If conditions occur causing the engine or transmission to overheat, the AutoStick mode will be canceled, and a code will be sent.

LIMP-IN:
NO

WHEN MONITORED/ SET CONDITIONS:
Whenever the engine is running.
- If the engine temperature exceeds 255°F while operating in AutoStick mode.
- If the transmission temperature exceeds 275°F while in AutoStick mode.

TRANSMISSION EFFECTS:
The "3" position shift schedule that is used in non-AutoStick applications is substituted while operating in the AutoStick gear selector position. No limp-in mode occurs.

POSSIBLE CAUSES:
- Engine overheat
- Transmission Overheat
- Restricted transmission cooling system
- Transmission fluid overfilled Radiator fan not functioning properly
- Extended driving in low gear

NOTE: Strenuous driving conditions may cause the vehicle to overheat. If the driver operates in or initiates AutoStick with an overheated vehicle, the code will be set.
