165 is great. I think it has to be way over 200 to start causing damage.
No, it's trans fluid temp. I watch the coolant temp on the same screen as the trans temp. I also watch air intake temp on that screen. It is probably just not accurate on the trans temp since I think the hot oil light comes on at 220 trans fluid temp and you go into limp mode.That is high okstatejk-I would question your gauge. Those sound more like coolant temps - are you sure your gauge isn't reading that instead? I have never seen anything over low 170ish even crawling 4lo at over 100 degrees outside temp.
I have noticed this too. Thanks for the explination! Will be towing a pop up about 400 miles tomorrow! On my way from near Austin to Davis Mountains.No worries, you're normal.
On occasion I'll hit 185 towing, I've hit 200 wheeling in sand. HOTOIL light comes on around 230-240 I believe.
Also FWIW when the transmission is in PARK or NEUTRAL, the TCM will substitute the engine temperature for the ATF temperature.
Go to your profile. There should be a view content link.Anyone know how to quickly get to my previous posts?
I am using the Torque App for andriod and this OBD II bluetooth receiver. It seems to work pretty well minus the trans temp. But as was posted above, it is apparently not getting the trans temp from the correct place.Can you tell me which OBD/app. you are using? I am having engine temp. Issues and I need to get a gauge on where I am at with engine and tranny fluid temp.
I am glad to see this post. While sitting at idle my transmission temps were climbing and I watched until it hit 228 before it started to decline. I was a little worried but wanted to see how high it would go.No worries, you're normal.

I use a different OBD scanner and run Torque as well, mine shows the Trans temp is unavailable.

Wow, very informative. Thanks for the excellent write-up.If you check out the http://www.wranglerforum.com/f202/hacking-the-obd-ii-diagnostic-port-1113194.html thread you can find a couple of PIDs that report the transmission temp. Mode $21 and PID $5C works.
