At4 6.2 Engine Temp Light

[Fast_AT4]

Light came on switched to transmission temp display, seemed to go from 143 - 156 max. Let cool, checked coolant and was above min but below max. Heating and AC proper. Started it up and took it around the block for a few laps and then let sit idle (giving it a little gas here and there) and seemed to normalize at 153. No CEL or any data on GMc app. Drives/idles as expected. Anything else to check and/or keep an eye on?

Are you talking about engine temp or tranny temp? Engine uses coolant; tranny uses tranny fluid.

Figured the tranny temp would be an indicator of the engine temp. Shouldnt a CEL been thrown for a engine temp light coming on?

cel light is almost always emissions related, temperature indicator is more or a less a "dummy light"

Went out for a bit this morning and no temp light.

on the k2's the temp sensor has been a known issue, it goes whacky and causes the fans to run high speed and/or AC to be cut-off, being it is cooler weather you might not have the same things happen. I would keep an eye on it and see if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
