Well I guess I would check for obvious things like low fluid levels and
anything damage, loose or chewed on by rats or mice under the hood.

Then I would find out the codes for why the light is on and troubleshoot it
from there. It certainly sounds like it is transmission related though.

------------------

Follow the manual's directions about checking the tranny fluid level,
and smell the dipstick, and note the color of the fluid on the tissue.
Those facts, combined with telling us the mileage / service history will
help us all figure out your problem.

There's a psychic guy around the group but he's away for the holidays .

You don't have to go to the dealership but I would advise you to go to a
mechanic in your town that you trust. The mechanic can quickly determine
the source of the problem.

Re: help engine light on!
 
I did check the level of the fluid it was alittle above the mark but not by
much but it did smeel burnt. I had a transmission flush acouple months ago.
But i talked to one guy and he said its a electornic problem not the
transmission because I wouldnt be driving anywhere if it was the
transmission. He said its probably something connected to it. My car drives
but if revs all the way up and barely shifts. ANy suggestions?
