The MIL may illuminate, with DTC P0441 stored (EVAP purge system performance).
The transmission light and/or transmission cooler freeze-up may be involved as well. This condition will typically occur when temperatures are below -10 degrees F. The technician may also find DTC P0218 set (transmission high temperature operation activated). Updating the software will correct these conditions. Use software release 12.01 or higher.
