you cleared the codes so now the vehicle info is lost so the censers are resetting so the car can run efficiently.the censers should return to where they were in about five miles or so,but your check engine light will come back on.the best thing to do is ,fix the problem,clear the codes with the engine off,then after you finish everything and unhook the scanner drive the vehicle for about ten miles to make sure the problem is fixed.hope that helps.

What does it mean when the transmission fluid is running hot?

There are a few things that can cause this. First, plugged cooler lines from the transmission to the cooler, which usually is built into the radiator, or mounted in front of it.

Fifth, if the cooler is in the radiator tank, and the engine is running too hot, it will also prevent it from cooling the transmission.
