Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
Hello all;
I have a 2000 Trooper with 70,000 miles and Friday (it was -20 in Minneapolis) it was very cold and my Check Trans light came on and then my check engine light came on. Truck ran fine and seems to be shifting fine also. Any ideas what could cause this? |

Re: Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
I had something simular happen to my truck last week to due to the cold. I started drove about 100 yards and then it died. I restarted and teh check tranny light flashed for about 20 seconds and then all was fine.
My suggestion is head to an autozone and have the codes read for free. Also, it might be worth, undoing the battery for 30 mintues to reset the codes (after gong to autozone). After you have the codes report back.

Re: Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
THe codes will be stored for like 30 restarts.
might be worth it to see what it was.

Re: Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
Had same problem on 99. With help from this forum, turned out to be a classic transmission position switch gone bad. I got the two lights intermittently, sometimes when I'd hit a pothole. It sits right next to the exhaust, some guys disassemble and lubricate, I bought a new one for around $40 as I recall, not too hard to install. If nothing comes up in the codes, might consider this.

Re: Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
Was the Check tranny light blinking?
I have had that happen 3-4 times. It was the tranny "lockup". A device that locks the torque converter at ~40>45 mph to improve fuel economy. Every time I had the problem, it was at the same place, on my way home from skiing, cold night, first uphill climb. It kept blinking for the whole 1 hour ride home every time. Then next day it was OK. I think that under the cold conditions, the lockup device doesn't move into position. The computer doesn't notice that there is some slip between the engine RPMs and the wheel speed until I hit the hill and the load causes the tranny to slip a little. Hope this helps. Petecal

Re: Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
Maybe I wasn't clear enough with my post above. That is exactly how mine acts. It comes on under the same conditions every time. Goes out the next day.

Re: Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
Hey Ryan
I had the code read and it is P1870, which I'm thinking is probably that switch? |

P1870
Transmission Component Slipping Not sure if this could be caused by the switch or not. |

Re: Check Trans/cel Both On?????????
Do a quick search on this forum for the code. Basically, most people are saying it could be related to electrical problems, alternator, etc or the transmission my be going out. If it feels ok, some people have stated driving several thousands of miles without problems. Check out the posts for more details.
