Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Transmission Oil Temperature Warning Lamp
The diagnosis found here addresses an inoperative transmission oil temperature warning lamp condition.
WARNING: ON VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AIRBAGS, REFER TO AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS/AIR BAGS BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY STEERING WHEEL, STEERING COLUMN, OR INSTRUMENT PANEL COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE.
FAILURE TO TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POSSIBLE
PERSONAL INJURY.
If the transmission oil temperature warning lamp fails to light during the bulb test (about two seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the On
position), diagnosis of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Chrysler Collision Detection (CCD) data bus should be performed with a DRB
scan tool. For further diagnosis of the transmission oil temperature warning lamp and the instrument cluster circuitry, see Instrument Cluster in the
Diagnosis and Testing.
