"Transmission hot idle engine" is a warning message that may appear in your vehicle if the transmission is operating at a higher than normal temperature. It suggests that you should let the engine idle - that is, leave it running without pressing the accelerator - so that the transmission can cool down. Overheating can cause significant damage to a car's transmission, so this warning should be taken seriously. It could indicate low fluid levels, problems with the transmission fluid cooler, or other transmission issues.
To fix engine compression issues, first conduct a compression test to pinpoint the problem. Low compression can be due to several factors including worn piston rings, leaking valves, or a damaged cylinder head gasket. For valve-related issues, a valve job might be needed, which involves reseating or replacing valves and possibly resurfacing the valve seats. If the piston rings are worn, replacing them along with a cylinder honing will restore compression. In the case of a blown head gasket, replacing the gasket and ensuring the cylinder head and engine block surfaces are flat will be essential. It's crucial to identify the root cause accurately since the remedies vary significantly. Professional advice is recommended if you're unsure, as improper diagnosis and repair can lead to further engine damage.
Resetting an engine oil light varies depending on your vehicle's make and model, but general steps can guide you. Firstly, turn off your car's ignition. Press and hold the oil reset button (found on some dashboards) or the odometer button if your car uses this for resets. While holding, turn your ignition key to the "On" position, but don't start the engine. Hold the button until the oil light blinks or the dashboard indicates the reset process. Release the button, then turn the ignition off. Start your car to ensure the reset was successful. If this doesn't work, your vehicle might require a specific procedure outlined in the owner's manual, or you might need to use a diagnostic tool for a reset. Remember, resetting the oil light should be done after an oil change to keep your maintenance records accurate and ensure your engine's health. Always consult your owner’s manual or a professional if unsure about the process.
