Flashing Oil Light?
I have a 2003 Forester that had a flashing yellow at oil temp light, which the owners manual says it is a Trans problem. Any one else have this problem? HELP

tranny overheating?
were you driving up hill all day? I had heard somewhere slipage in the tranny could cause it to overheat. hopefully it is a bad sensor (ie false error). TMK |

It is my Wifes car, it was the yellow at oil temp light. I am going to check the fluid levels at lunch. I am just looking to see it their is a trany recall that this could be linked to.

I have no clue about cars newer than, well, mine...but could it be a tranny fluid thing? Is your car standard 5-spd, or automatic transmission? If it's auto, you can check the fluid level right under the hood. If it's a 5-spd, there should be a yellow dipstick sticking out of the gearbox.
It also could just be low oil level - so check your oil while you're at it! Good luck! //marcus |

I was going easy. -Brian Edit: to keep this on topic- Sen- if your tranny fluid level is ok, but the light still flashes, I'd call your dealer (presuming your car is still under warranty). |

Looking better
Well the trany fluid level is OK and it does not smell burnt, looks nice and red. Hopefully just a fluke.
