| Description of the problem | During highway driving at a sustained speed of high rpms, the transmission temperature warning light comes on. If speed is not reduced to allow the transmission to cool, the car goes into a safety mode and slows automatically. A repair shop pulled the codes and found code p0218, high temp operation activated. This problem occurs multiple times on almost every long highway trip when trying to maintain speed going up hills. The increased acceleration keeps the engine operating at high rpms above 3000 for a sustained period of time. |
