I have a 1999 SUS - The AT OIL TEMP light came on - It constantly flashes with no brakes in-between ,so I can't get a code.

The AT fluid was changed and  the AT TEMP sensor was also replaced. Is there a way I can get a code?

1.  check fluid level

2.  check the AT pan and make sure it's not dented

3.  what's the history - this car has ran 100% like new since you bought it nearly 20 years ago and never had one repair...or something else?

4.  read the check engine codes - what do you get?

 

does the AT light flash continuously forever - or 16 times at first start up and then stops?

 

some years you can just ground a pin and it'll flash codes:

follow the convoluted process for retrieving AT codes - it's a really long and convoluted process which results in the light then blinking the code.  

 

if you can't get it to work then a shop or Subaru will need to do it. here's the procedure:

 

 

  1. Warm up the engine
  2. Turn the ignition switch OFF
  3. Turn the ignition switch ON
  4. Start the engine
  5. Drive the vehicle at speeds greater than 12 MPH
  6. Stop the vehicle
  7. Depress the brake pedal and move the gear selector to "1"
  8. Turn the ignition switch to OFF
  9. Turn the ignition switch to ON
  10. Move the gear selector to "2"
  11. Move the gear selector to "1"
  12. Move the gear selector to "2"
  13. Move the gear selector to "3"
  14. Move the gear selector to "D"

Thanks for your reply - Salvaged trany with 75000 on it . Ran great for 1500 miles when this code came up . There is no other codes. No check engine codes. It blinks continuously forever - no brakes between - I found that procedure on a another web site - tried it a couple of times with no results. Fluid good - new filters - new AT sensor - no dents in pan - So thats why I joined this site before I take it to a dealer. I will try grounding the pin. Thanks for your help.
