Thanks for the response. I agree those items mentioned will impact the trans temp. I don't recall what the limp mode temp is (somehow I recall 280F - I'm probably wrong). Would you happen to know?I'm sure your brain works just as well as mine, but I will pretend this isn't a rhetorical question. Obviously there isn't heat being generated by the transmission if the car isn't moving. However, the engine, air conditioning and exhaust are all quite warm on a hot day. They are also close to the transmission. My assumption is that convection, radiation and conduction from those heat sources all play a part.
Bottom line is - I don't have to know the cause to be able to read the transmission temperature off the dash display and see that the transmission temperature is spiking quickly when it's hot and the car is running but not moving.
