trailblaze Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hello, Just wondering if any of you can help me out here. My wife's 00' outback 4cyl has had this happen 2-3 times now. She says the AT oil Temp light flashes... Anyone know if there are common problems with the tranny/ AT oil light with these things? Any suggestions on what i should check first? Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It would help us immensely if you would describe the conditions/situation under which the light comes on. Either way, it's not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailblaze Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 normal driving, she doesn't know if it came on when she started it up, or while she was driving.... it drove with no problems (shifting wise)... last night i took it out and drove in tight circles, no binding and no resistance....so it's not the Duty C solenoid, unless it acts up occasionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 And I assume you've already checked the fluid level at both warm and cold temperature and it's where it should be? Also assuming it wasn't terribly hot. I really have no idea other than a possible faulty AT temperature sensor but in that case I'd expect more lights to come on the dash such as SES. I'd have it looked at if it does it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailblaze Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share Posted October 28, 2008 well the fluid was a on the low line when warm... i am going to have the pan dropped, things looked at, filter replaced and then refilled.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
