The Automatic Transmission Fluid
(ATF) Temperature warning light
comes on if the ATF temperature is
high. This usually occurs when the
transmission is overfilled and may
be accompanied by leakage of fluid
from the transmission
breather hose.
If the light stays on, or comes on
while driving, slow down and pull off
the road. Stop the vehicle at a safe
place and put the vehicle in
P (Park). With the engine idling, wait
until the light goes off. If the light
goes off, you can drive the vehicle
again. If the light does not go off,
have the automatic transmission
lubricating system checked by your
dealer.
Caution
Driving with the ATF warning light
constantly on can cause serious
mechanical damage to the
automatic transmission.

Overdrive Off Light
(Diesel Only)
This light should come on briefly
when the engine control switch is
turned on as a check to make sure
the light is working. It should go out
automatically.
This light comes on when the
overdrive off switch on the selector
lever is turned on. Overdrive will not
operate even when the automatic
transmission is in D, unless engine
speed is excessive.
Wait-to-Start Light
For diesel vehicles, this light comes
on when the engine control switch is
turned to the ON position and goes
out when preheating is complete.
