if you are low on transmission will your check engine light come on? i never knew that, but when my check engine light kept coming on, i checked my tranny fluid cuz i noticed it was leaking and i put more fluid in, and the light doesnt come on now.... please let me know thanks

Not that I am aware of.

Did you check the code when the check engine light was on?

 

I dont believe there is a CEL for tranny fluid. never new there was a sensor for that. if there is then i must be a dumbass that hasnt payed enough attention to my car

 

could be another good thing to know. anybody know the answer

 

Code Meaning
1 O2A - Oxygen sensor #1
2 O2B - Oxygen sensor #2
3 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor
4 CKP - crank position sensor
5 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor
6 ECT - water temperature sensor
7 TPS - throttle position sensor
8 TDC - top dead centre sensor
9 CYP - cylinder sensor
10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor
12 EGR - exhaust gas recirculation lift valve
13 BARO - atmospheric pressure sensor
14 IAC (EACV) - idle air control valve
15 Ignition output signal
16 Fuel injectors
17 VSS - speed sensor
19 Automatic transmission lockup control valve
20 Electrical load detector
21 VTEC spool solenoid valve
22 VTEC pressure valve
23 Knock sensor
30 Automatic transmission A signal
31 Automatic transmission B signal
41 Primary oxygen sensor heater
43 Fuel supply system
45 Fuel system too rich or lean
48 LAF - lean air fuel sensor
54 CKF - crank fluctuation sensor
58 TDC sensor #2
61 Primary oxygen sensor
63 Secondary oxygen sensor
65 Secondary oxygen sensor heater

I don't see anything relating to low fluid.

 

i never did check the code when the light was on, but when i added tranny fluid the light never came on, also, i noticed the wiring harness is conneted to the tranny fluid, so I dont know. Sorry if this was a dumb question, I was just curious

 

What type of tranny?

Only automatic-equipped cars will throw a CEL for a tranny problem as Spade has highlighted.

Unless you hjave an auto tranny I think you have a nice coincidence there between your CEL and fluid level.

BTW:

When changing fluid the B series trannies take 2.3 qts, the D series takes 1.8qts., and the automatics take like 3 qts. (generally spaking off the top oif my head) of Genuine Honda ATF.
