supershepy Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Wondering if anybody else ran into this.I have a 2005 Mack Vision with a 460 13 speed eaton trans,I'm getting every once in a while engine shut down light and "check trans" coming on,when this happens my heat gauge for my trans drops to nothing,then when the light shuts off it goes back up to normal operating temperature.Checked all the wiring going to the heat sensor on the trans back and seems fine,possibley a heat sensor on trans getting bad?Or when the heat sensor on the transmission goes it just goes?Any input would be great ,thanks! p.s. she has high miles on her Quote Southern Girls Rule!

cgallamore Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 i got my 2004 vision late sumer every week its some thing like that. i pay for fuel, drive for free, and it wont make enough to pay for its repairs, i didnt know about 2003,04,05. i feel sorry for you if its not paid for, it will put you out of buissnes quick. it is the most comfortable truck i have ever sat in,runs and pulls like its pissed off, but constant huge repair bills are running me in the ground. good luck.

Sumyun Guy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 So essentially nobody has a helpful reply to this initial thread? I have the same problem on my 2006.

turckster Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Something I see sometimes when this happens is the wires at the connector plug start to fray inside the insulation before they end up breaking or the connector housing on the sensor is cracked. The temp sensor is located on the right side of the trans near the 6 hole pto cover. Sometimes debris from the road will kick up and damage the sensor. On v-mac 3, the shut down feature can be turned off.
