INTRODUCTION

If you encounter a vehicle with the AT Oil light flashing with one or more of the following codes stored in memory (P0751, P0756, P0761, P0766, P0771, P1840, P1841, P1842, P1843, P1844) there are now reprogramming files to remedy the condition.

NOTE: P0700 will also be stored in ECM memory. The PACK file is to improve the oil pressure switch judgment criteria. If after reprogramming the vehicle still has the symptom, refer to the applicable service manual for diagnostics.
