Default Auto Trans Temp (Diablo Tells Me It's 180C)

My Diablo Sport Predator tells me, in the live diagonstic mode, that my auto trans temp is 180C. WTF? That can't be right can it? It has to be Fahrenheit right? If it is Celsius then my trans temp is running at about 356F. According to anything I read, 356F would be toast to my tranny fluid. Can someone set me straight on this? I have a B&M tranny cooler installed too and it was about 85 here today and that temp reading was with a little hot roddin around the town. The highest I saw it was 185 but then it dropped back down to 180.

Thanks

haha it has to be farenheit... that temp would toast your tranny. you wanna keep it between 140 - 190 if it goes above 190 you are looking at possible damage. thats in farenheit of course. haha if ur tranny was at 350+ im sure youd see smoke and maybe fire. lol call sct and let them know about the error.

Thanks for the reply and for the clearification. Common sense was trying to tell me that 180C was not correct. lol

The programmer is a diablo and not a SCT unit.

Thank again man! Good luck with your rebuild. Did you even find out what caused your issue?
