I’m very sorry that you’re having this issue and together, we will get this figured out. I will need your help too because I can’t see, touch, hear or smell anything that’s going on with your vehicle. We may also require some specialized testing tools in order to assist us in diagnosing the problems due to the complexity of today’s vehicles. JA will offer a phone call to you at an additional fee, it’s your choice. Please be patient with my replies, I reply back in question order received. If I send you an attachment, I will tell you, BUT, you will NOT get it on a phone; you must be on a tablet or PC. Please let me know when you are satisfied with my answers too so we can close out your question.
Here’s the sequence of events I follow: Check fluid level and color. Make appropriate repairs. Check shift solenoids with a scan tool in bidirectional mode if applicable. Shift solenoids are inside the transmission and this is the easiest way to check them. Drop pan and inspect for excessive metal shavings inside pan. Check valve body and clutches visually. Hopefully you may not have to go this far, maybe you just were a bit low on fluid.
Thanks again and all the best:)
Ron

A "[transmission](/topics-transmission-ford/) fault service now" message keeps popping up and disappearing, and check [engine](/topics-engine-ford/) warning light briefly turns on but then turns off. car seems to run normal but i am worried about the light and error message constantly turning on and off Mechanic's Assistant: Does the light stay on, or does it blink? It stays on but it only appears occassionally Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your transmissions? 2016 Ford Escape Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Escape yourself? What have you tried so far? No i am not, we took it to the dealership, they said nothing was wrong but the message continues to pop up. Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? The error message pops up very consistently but will disappear and reappear after differing amounts of time. when we took it to the dealership the check engine warning light was gone and they said they didn't see the error message pop up and couldn't find a problem.
