Default New Trans cooler, engine light on

So I pulled the grille, installed a new Mishimoto cooler and reinstalled grille.
now heck engine light is on and code ambient temperature--high out put?

Does it need a reset?

Also, remote start does not work.

Remote start is disabled when you have a CEL.

I have no idea...

I was merely commenting that the reason your remote start doesn't work is because you have a CEL. Fix the CEL and your remote start will start working again. This is by design.

Did the truck have a factory auxiliary transmission cooler?

The sensor is right behind the grille are you sure you reconnected it securely?

installed a bigger Mishimoto cooler. Pulling a 8000 pound trailer through South Dakota had temps around 216--220...
