I have a Saturn 1997 SW2 station wagon and the check engine light came on I did a diagnostic test on it.?

And I got P0711 which means transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance. But what does this mean and is it minor so I can still drive to school.

    well first thing i'd check tranny fluid level with car running in neutral on a flat surface it should reach the cold fill line if you haven't been driving around or the hot fill line if you have been driving around. either way low tranny fluid doesn't carry as much heat away as correct amount i'd start there.

    If fluid is within proper range, I'd take it to a shop. Overheating the tranny quickly leads to transmission failure. It could just be bad sensor but you have no way to check that.
