trans temp light question
Hi Guys,
So nice day to go out for drive...
I was out driving for about 30 min on some back roads then went through a mcdonalds drive through. Light came on... turned truck off for a minute, turned it back on and the light was still on. After about a minute it turned off... As I drove away it came back on then drove about a mile and it was off again. I drove all the way home 4 miles for it not to come back on again.
Let the truck cool down for about 4 hours and check the fluids for trans and transfer case, levels were good. I used my Lynx diag system and checked for trans and engine codes and nothing came up.
Does this sound like a bad temp sensor or something else wrong? If I shoot the IR gun at the trans pan what temp should it be after going around town for a bit?

I replaced the fluids and filter about 12,000miles ago. No the Lynx can't get into trans temp. As an update I went out for another drive last night for 30min and light didn't come back on.
