Automatic Transmission Warning Indicators

Automatic Transmission

These are Automatic Transmission (AT) Warning Indicator symbols. The first symbol indicates an electrical, rather than a mechanical,  problem with the transmission. Continuing to drive could cause damage to the transmission that would likely be very expensive to repair.

  • Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
  • Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

The second, AT CHECK has a broader meaning, where any problem with the transmission would generate the warning.

Another Version

This also is a Transmission Fault Indicator. It is made to resemble a transmission if seen from the side in yellow/amber. The manufacturer who uses this symbol states that the vehicle can be driven carefully for a short while.

In any of these cases, contact your dealer or authorized service center as soon as possible.
