THE HOT TRANSMISSION LIGHT APPEARS IN THE CENTER INFO SCREEN.
When this warning light flashes it means the fluid (ATF) temperature of the transmission have reached a level that is detrimental to the operation of the transmission and damage will occur if the cause is not corrected. The causes can be overloading (towing) the vehicle, severe operational circumstances such as high air temps. Other common causes are excessive slippage of the transmission due to worn clutch packs or a defective torque converter. Also the TFT (trans fluid temperature sensor) can malfunction and send a false signal to transmission control module (TCM) and set the warning light. I would not ignore this warning, have it checked by a transmission shop or the dealer.
