E4OD and code 26

[pafixitman]

I popped a code 26 (TFT or TOT - Transmission Fluid Temp or Trans Oil Temp) sensor out of range. Can any one tell me in English what this means? Was this caused by overheating the fluid when I came back from SC? Should I just reset the code and flush and fill the fluid?

If I understand correctly, the TFT is part of the solenoid pack.

Were you trailering or pulling particularly heavy when the code was set?

I would guess you overheated it or the sensor is bad. Clear the code and change the fluid and see if the code comes back.

It could also mean you didn't have the transmission up to temp when you pulled the codes FWIW!

Mike,
I was pulling the 5'r back from Lake Hartwell. Air temp was about 95* and heat index was over 100*. Coming up 85 there are some grades, nothing too major.

Tranny was about 185* when I pulled the code.

I'd change the fluid and reset the code.

I'd change the fluid and reset the code.

What he said.

Yes the TOT is part of the part of the solenoid pack.
