Transmission replacement cost? 03 Cruiser

Read codes and then clear. Dealership should have done this! So they can say no metal in pan, but did not clear codes.

I can't stress this enough.
Do full 12 qt. flushes, with the correct ATF. Unless you've owned the vehicle from miles one, and absolute certain the same fluid the factory installed, used for every dain & fill.

The service advisor said it would be an additional $230 for a tech to clear it because they need to diagnose it, even when I clearly stated what the problem was.

Today I disconnected the battery for 10 minutes and the light turned off.

so the problem was caused by the wrong fluid type? That's great news. You will probably need to use Techstream to clear the codes from the Transmission ECU.

I don’t know 100% but it was definitely low after I changed the radiator.

Thank you everyone!

Glad to hear you solved the problem! I hope you don't mind me piggy backing off of your thread, but I have an issue where rarely (once every week or 2) when I go from reverse to drive it feels like the transmission gets stuck in neutral for a couple seconds and then jerks into gear.

@king100 Did you ever have this as one of your symptoms?

Have you checked fluid level at the proper temp?
