Default Re: Power steering

Just to continue veering off topic:

Transmission has a temperature sensor. DTC code for over temp is P1783. Probably a warning but don't know.

My transmission was around 75 degrees C last time I looked. Recently at outside temps of 43 deg C made no difference to the engine coolant temp (LX). As Cobrin says, the tranny is cooled by a separate heat exchanger using same coolant as engine.

Make sure the fluid and filter is done regularly (60000km usually, I DIY at 45000km). I don't think temp is an issue, better to change the fluid.
