[bazil-e36-e30]

Is there anyone out there had any problems with the an auto with the transmission light on the dash keeps coming on and off. the car has been to my local bm dealers and they say there is nothing wrong with the car. in the manual its called the (telltale lamp for electronic shift control) i have checked the fluid and it's fine. can any body shed some light on this problem.

I have been told to check the battery terminals, and i have just changed my coils and my light has not come on yet.

I have the same problem, it comes and goes as it pleases. It comes on usually just after I come to a stop at a light, then I pull into the nearest parking lot, turn off the car, wait 2 minutes, then turn the car on and go on my way, and it doesn't come back on again while I'm driving.

I took it to the dealer, and they suggested I get a transmission update chip or something like that - they tack it onto the ECU, but he wouldn't do it until I got the flooding issue fixed, but thats another story...
You are not alone.

Good Luck.
