Title:
3MZ - FE ENGINE OVERHEATING
Models:
'04 - '06 Solara
Introduction
If the shifter is accidentally placed in the "S" position (manual shift mode) and driven at freeway speeds for extended periods of time in 3rd gear under
certain atmospheric conditions, the engine can overheat, causing damage to the engine and transmission. A revised ECM (SAE term: Powertrain Control
Module/PCM) calibration has been developed to automatically upshift the transmission to 4th gear in "S" mode to prevent overheating from occurring.
