Hello!
I own a 99 Rx300 with around 211,000 miles on it.
I had two long trips (greater than 3 hours) where my A/T temp light came on. If i pulled over for 5 minutes or went below 60 mph the light disappeared. Does anyone know what is happening?
I am about to take it to pep boys. It has been running fine since then
Couple Side notes:
- Mechanic told me to use regular conventional with lucas oil stabilizer with my high mileage car. I feel like this has something to do with it since I first saw this light appear after I used Lucas oil stabilizer
- Car has been giving a burning smell for quite some time but I attribute that to the oil being burned off.
-Catylitic and O2 sensor light is on but i Dont think that has anything to do with the current problem
- Car struggles with changing gears especially from RPM 2- 3
Also does a kick back sometimes when I go into reverse. Please let me know! Thanks!

AT light is automatic transmission temperature!
Check the level & condition of the transmission fluid NOW. When was the last time it was changed? Would highly suggest several drain & fills.

I think this is the first time I have ever heard of this light coming on? LexMex used to race his in Mexico, and never had his light come on?

I would check the the tranny fluid immediately upon getting home if I got one of those.

when i took it to pep boys (they dont do tranmission)
the guys said sometime the computer will trip the light to come on especially if I have unmatching tires (which I do). I dont know how legit that is but it sounded pretty good lol. Ill be taking it to a transmission shop soon. TY everyone
