Hot shift?
What causes the trans to go to hot shift mode? My trans started doing this. Somtimes it will be in normal shift and just go to hot shift for no reason. I think it might have a bad pressure switch. What all does the pressure switch control? I know the trans is not hot.

I dont think thats and issue if you are just watching the scanner, My understanding is the trans has three difference settings in the PCM that are used and they are COLD,WARM and HOT modes, They are all normal modes just the tables for shift and presure ajust for each state.

looking with hp tuners there are three different modes normal, performance, and hot. That is under full throttle shift speed and rpm. Performance mode is only used on vechiles with a tow / haul button. When i scan my car sometimes it will go into hot mode. When this happens the car shifts way to fast and the converter locks and unlocks crazy. There is not pattern to when this happens. Sometimes when I first start the car in will be in hot mode even when its cold. I;m not sure what controls this? I think it might be in the pressure control switch.

Once the transmission temperature goes over 265 degrees the PCM will use hot transmission strategies.
I would check the TF temp sender if your transmission is going into hot mode when it is cold.

Have you checked to see what the actual temp of the unit is when it switches to the hot mode?
Point is, it could actually be overheating. Be sure to check the cooler flow. If you have replaced the Manifold Switch then it is time to verify that the harness has not been compromised.
