  3. If the transmission fluid temperature sensor resistance is outside the specified range and the "N" range indicator light is flashing, replace the transmission fluid temperature sensor.
    NOTE: The "N" range indicator light on the combination meter flashes when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F) or greater, and then stops flashing when the temperature drops below approximately 115°C (238°F).
