It's not an issue Toyota can fix. You'll need to fit a transmission cooler to get the temps down.

I have a Nov2009 150 D4D. I had the same problem, driving on sand for 20 mins in sport mode3rd gear and A/T temp light came on. Checked hear, read about remap of ECU..
Finally got a response from local dealer other than "bring in for a check up". Apparently the the ECU remap that delays when the temp light comes on has been superseded by a remap that changes the gear down sooner. Apparently when doing about 40km/h it was staying in too high a gear.[B]Black '09 150 D4D GXL[/B].

Sounds like the 2400rpm flat spot reflash to me as that also changed the shift pattern and stoped the lugging in 5th. I thought drving in 'S' mode stopped the over temp alarm anyway as you could manually select a lower gear if required?2010 150 Glacier White GXL D4D AutoComment

Before you go mad chasing Toyota for a ECU re-map or whatever have you tried driving in low range? Give it a go next time you are on the beach. See what temps you get in high range and then drive in the same conditions but this time use low range. If your tyres are properly deflated to @ 16-18psi (depending on tyre type, load etc) then if you're starting to overheat then it is nature's way of telling you that you probably ought to be in low range. Give it a go. Most novices on the beach prefer to be in high range because they can drive faster. I found this out with my D4D auto after I tried to drive it the same way as I did with my old 98 GXL petrol manual.Dave

Agree low range puts less stress on the gearbox and the gear changes are better on sand. Having said that, my gearbox is running a lot cooler since I fitted the trany cooler and that can't be a bad thing.Originally posted by Bushbasher View Post[B]Steve[/B]

Mine is a December 2012 build Kakadu delivered in June 2013- had the AT over heat light come on while climbing a not especially steep dirt road at lowish speed in "D" for dattaway and towing an unloaded trailer on a 20C day. Vehicle also unladen. So Toyota aren't delivering them with any software fixes for this. Thanks to others who have posted on this - now know about software fix, driving in manual mode and probable need for transmission cooler. Would have thought Toyota could build a 4WD that can get up a hill without the computer chucking a wobbly?9Tony (Kakadoodledoo)
