Looked through previous forums on the "AT OIL TEMP" light subject. Didn't find anything particular useful to my situation. (i.e. no binding)

Three questions.

1.) What is solenoid C, and how does changing a fuse check to see if that is the problem. Also where is the solenoid located it and is it an easy fix?

2.) If my transmission fluid is light and pink, would a flush be helpful?

3.) Would this AT OIL TEMP light have any relation to my car rolling while in park with the engine off. When the engine is on the Park functions normally. (See previous thread for more detail "When Engine is off and in park the car rolls??? Ideas?" viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16011 (http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16011))

1. Duty C Solenoid is the solenoid that handles the transfer of torque to the rear wheels - when it goes bad it results in torque bind.
If you aren't getting any tq bind then it's unlikely that the Duty C solenoid.

2. Tranny fluid is typically reddish-pink...draining the fluid doesn't take long and it can tell you if there's something mechanical messing up in there.

3. The AT oil temp light usually only flashes when the fluid isn't warm enough/high enough in the transmission. It doesn't/shouldn't have anything to do with the braking system.
