My 96 ES300 had a CEL that said bad shift solenoid a few months ago, then the CEL went away and never came back. I thought maybe it was just a screw up. Recently I noticed that my ECT light automatically comes on. Is my transmission in danger or what? Car runs alright, do I need to change out the fluid/filter? Thanks.

Did you accidently push the button on the shifter? Easy way to tell, see if the transmission upshifts like it used to. I dont believe there would be a reason for the light to be on unless you pushed the button.

Hmmm maybe bring it to the dealer and see if they can come up with a fault code? Does the car run or feel any different?
I also had the solenoid replaced on the ES awhile ago, but I don't seem to have that problem.......for me the ECT PWR light only comes on when I feel like revvin up that engine

mines came on the other day and i had it checked out and the only reason it was on was because when i took it to the car wash they pressed down the button next to the shifter
