Transmission temp all over the place

Posted

I went to leave work today and noticed a hazard sign flashing on my Adrenaline display.  It was coming from the trans temp icon.  I opened it up and the temp was bouncing all over the place, anywhere from 0-220*.  I have a mechanical gauge that was still reading less than 100 and the truck had only been running a few minutes so I knew the fluid wasn't hot.  When I started driving it settled at 100* and stayed there only occasionally popping up to 108* and then back down to 100*.  By the time I got home my mechanical gauge was at 140* while the Quad was still hanging at 100*.  The transmission performed flawlessly as usual, could this be an issue with the Quadzilla or the truck computer?

Trans temp lead is touching metal. There is one lead that is with a ring terminal. Make sure it's not touching and metal. I'm using the trans temp and engine oil temp. Just double check that wire.

You nailed it Mike, that ring terminal was laying on the metal part of the hydroboost line.  I went and secured it a little better, some day I'll hook it up to something.

I tried to do that but the heater core lines are too close and I didn't have enough space for the sensor to protrude without hitting them.  I remember that day very well as I had removed the factory plug in the hole and accidentally hit the remote start button on my truck resulting in a geyser of freshly changed oil.
