I have three codes which are P0645 (A/C clutch relay cct),P1596 (Speed control switch always high), P0108 (Map sensor Voltage too high), and I noticed that the transmission oil has changed to strawberry color, thou the oil does not smell, can it be that the oil has mixed with water? Please help me.
