Those connectors are no good. They are burned up from high resistance.

Is that the original or the replacements?

Transmission fluid temperature is a bit high. Wondering if the cooler may be restricted.

It would need to be flow tested by someone to be sure there is no restriction. It would be cheaper to replace it than have it checked.

Take the temperature at the top and bottom and see what the temperature difference is between the two test areas.

Okay, remove the connectors and clean them. Make sure there are no dirty or damaged pins. Use electrolytic grease on the pins for a better connection and retets.
