Steve Larson Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have a 2007 hatchback with automatic transmission. It doesn't shift into high gear when its cold until after the low temperature indicator light goes out. The dealership says this is normal. Does anyone else have this issue ? I hope this isnt in the owners manual that I haven't read somewhere. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR2003 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 the ecm stops the engine from shifting into overdrive when cold to warm up the engine faster. this normal. yup. Even though the engine maybe already up to normal operating temps. - the transmission also needs to get to normal operating temps. Take it easy on the 1st 1/4 mile or so after till the tranny gets up to temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
