AT OIL TEMP warning light (AT and CVT models)

~1min read

The AT oil temperature warning light “AT OIL TEMP” illuminates when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and turns off after approximately 2 seconds. If this light illuminates when the engine is running, it may indicate that the transmission fluid temperature is too hot. If the light illuminates while driving, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and let the engine idle until the warning light turns off.
