Hey fellas just drove down to myrtle beach and when i got here my tranny went limp and was reading 200 degrees. Ive never noticed it getting that hot before, just wondering if that is a a bit warm and/or how to cool it down. Thanks
Trans Temp

Trans won't limp at 200F. It goes into hot mode at 259F. Explane what happened.
When I got into the heavy stop and go trafffic it reached 200. I took off at a stop light and when it shifted it lost all its ass and wouldnt shift, the check engine light did come on. I let it sit for a half hour and it ran fine, the check engine light is off but the temp hits 200 pretty quick. Hope this explains a little better, thanks.
Is there a way to read the codes even if its not showing? Or am i gonna have to wait for it to come on again?
Same way you read codes that are showing with a Tech II. Not sure (never tried it) if a Generic code reader will work. But I do know a Tech II will show codes if there is one without a MIL request.
Ok well thanks for the help ill try and find somewhere to check her out, before i head back to ohio.
I just left that area, and my trans temps would hit 190 REALLY quick with the heat up there right now. SO I wouldn't worry about the trans temp causing this. Your gonna need a TECH II or EFILIVE to read the trans for codes as most generic scanners will only read the ECM. If you get a P0700 then you have to have the TCM scanned directly with a quality scanner like those above that can read it.
Thanks stacks but ill be heading out of here saturday, i will say there are alot of strokers down here.
