Ignition on
Read off the oil temperature.
Check that the temperature is within its permitted range.

Compare with the transmission temperature.

NOTE:
The transmission temperature sensor is located inside the control system and may be affected by the heat given off by the solenoids.

The fault is permanent if the temperature is outside the permitted range.

If the temperature is within the permitted range, this is an indication that the fault was present previously but that it is not active at the moment, i.. he fault is intermittent.
