transmission overheating light · gearbox temperature light
The automatic transmission fluid has overheated beyond its safe operating temperature.
Pull over safely, shift to neutral or park, and let the engine idle (or turn it off) to allow the transmission to cool. Check the fluid level once safe to do so.
No, not until it cools down. Continuing to drive with an overheating transmission can cause internal damage that turns a fluid top-up into a full transmission rebuild.
