    If there is a mechanical fault in the automatic transmission model, such as engine idling, transmission slippage, clutch burnout, and refueling failure, the transmission computer will enable the fault alarm reminder and the transmission fault indicator will be illuminated. At this point, don't continue driving the vehicle. Be sure to contact a professional transmission repair manufacturer for an inspection to prevent transmission failures from spreading.

    Since the signal of the gearbox needs to be processed by the computer, the computer control system is first checked for faults. Restart the vehicle's computer control panel. If the fault light is not on, it means that there is no fault, the system is false, and there is a problem with the computer system; If the fault does not disappear after restarting, but there is no abnormal or abnormal noise during driving, it is an indication that the electronic components of the transmission may be damaged.

    Check if the transmission color has turned black and if there is a noticeable burning smell. Twist it with your hand and feel obvious impurities inside. If there is oil, it means that impurities in the transmission oil are clogging the solenoid valve.

    Go to a nearby professional repair shop to add or replace the transmission oil, and have the transmission thoroughly inspected by a professional to eliminate the fault. When the vehicle finds that it is difficult to accelerate, the engine speed is high, the speed is slow, the gear is in gear, or even the transmission cannot be shifted, the transmission is abnormal, etc., the internal parts of the transmission may be damaged. Pull over, contact a professional repair shop, and ask a professional to come and have it repaired.

    Fault detection in automotive systems is based on the scope of program operation management. If it is higher or lower than the set parameters, it is considered a fault. The current car design is more complex, and the matching operations between various devices are relatively close, so the redundancy of the allowable error is particularly small, and slight signal fluctuations may be considered as fault misjudgment.

    However, the probability of false or false reports is small, but it is not completely ruled out. There is no abnormality during driving, but when the transmission fault light is on or several fault lights are on at the same time, it is possible to check for fake reports or fake reports. Hit ** to consult the car manufacturer, then go to a nearby specialty store for comprehensive troubleshooting.

    As an old driver who has driven dozens of cars, let me tell you this, the fault light is to detect whether there is any problem with our car, if there is something in the car that needs to be energized, it will be lit if there is a fault. Engine failure lights are a problem that most car owners will encounter, just like the yellow lights of a faucet. Faults in automotive circuits, various sensors, and control modules can cause engine failure lights to light up.

    To be precise, engine failure lights belong to the category of emission system lights.

    When the engine computer detects that the sensor is damaged, which could result in the emissions not meeting the standard, it will light up the fault light. Troubleshooting: Since the signal of the gearbox needs to be processed by the computer, first check whether the computer control system is faulty.

    Restart the control panel of the on-board computer. If the fault light does not turn on, it means that there is no fault, system false alarm, or computer system problem. If the fault does not disappear after restarting, but there is no abnormality (there is no abnormality in gear, speed, etc.)

    If there is no abnormal noise, the electronic components of the gearbox may be damaged.

    As long as the fault light is on, it means that there is a problem in a certain part of the car, but if the car is still moving, it means that it is not a particularly serious problem, because if there is a particularly serious failure, the red light will be lit and the engine fault light is also yellow. Try not to drive long distances when it is bright, drive to the nearest maintenance station as soon as possible to check and repair, and don't let temporary small faults develop into big problems. Fault detection in an automotive system is based on a program operating management range, and if it is above or below the set parameters, it is considered a fault.

    At present, the design of automobiles is complex, the matching operation between various devices is tight, and the allowable error redundancy is very small, and the slightest signal fluctuation may be regarded as fault misjudgment. However, the probability of a false report or a false report is extremely small, but it is not completely ruled out. There is no abnormality during the driving of the car, but when the transmission fault light is on or multiple fault lights are on together, it can be checked for false alarms or false positives.

    The fault light is on, but the car does have some abnormalities, such as severe shaking and poor acceleration. In this case, it is better not to continue driving and ask for a rescue trailer.

    1.Failure of the gearbox, computer, or electronic components.

    Troubleshooting: Because the signal of the gearbox needs to be processed by the computer, it is necessary to check whether the computer control system is faulty. Restart the control panel of the car computer, if the fault light is not on, it means that there is no fault, the system is false alarm, and there is a problem with the computer system; If the fault does not disappear after restarting, but there is no abnormality in the car during driving (no abnormalities in gears, speeds, etc.), and there is no abnormal noise, it means that the electronic components of the transmission may be damaged.

    Solution: The car can continue to drive normally, go to a professional repair shop for inspection, and replace the damaged electronic components.

    2.The transmission fluid has impurities or is severely insufficient.

    Troubleshooting: Check whether the color of the gearbox has turned black, there is an obvious burnt smell, and there are obvious impurities when twisting it by hand, if it is oil, it means that the transmission oil impurities have blocked the solenoid valve.

    Solution: Go to a nearby professional repair shop to add or replace the transmission oil, and let the professional conduct a comprehensive inspection of the gearbox to completely eliminate the fault.

    3.Damage to the internal parts of the gearbox.

    Troubleshooting: When the vehicle is found to be struggling to speed up, high engine speed, sluggish gear or even unable to shift gears, abnormal transmission noise and other phenomena during driving, the internal parts of the gearbox may be damaged.

    Solution: pull over, contact a professional repair shop, and let the professional come over for maintenance.

    4.False or false positives of faulty lights.

    Troubleshooting: Fault detection of automotive systems is based on a program operating management range, and if it is above or below the set parameters, it will be considered a fault. Today's car design is more complex, and the matching operation between various devices is relatively close, so the redundancy of the allowable error is particularly small, and the slightest signal fluctuation may be considered a fault misjudgment.

    However, the probability of false positives or false positives is particularly small, but it is not completely ruled out. There is no abnormality in the driving of the car, but when the gearbox fault light is on or multiple fault lights are on together, you can check the false alarm or misreport.

    Solution: **Contact the car manufacturer for consultation, and then go to a nearby professional store for comprehensive troubleshooting.

    The reasons for the failure of the gearbox: 1. Occasional or continuous failures of the electronic and electrical components of the automatic transmission (sensors, solenoid valves, computer versions), and the failure of the gearbox (some models do not have a separate transmission failure light, and the failure of the gearbox will light up the engine fault light, the reason is the same, such as Nissan and GM series models; and the small wrench flashing on the Volkswagen dashboard, etc.) intermittently or continuously lights up for alarm reminders, and the gearbox may be locked (the gearbox does not shift gears after starting the emergency mode, the engine speed is high, and the acceleration is weak). 2. The transmission failure light is on due to the high temperature of the transmission oil, such as excessive transmission oil filling, and the internal or external blockage of the transmission radiator; There is also high temperature protection of the gearbox caused by the slippage of the gearbox lock-up torque.

    3. After the mechanical failure of the automatic transmission model, such as the engine idling, the transmission slippage, the clutch burning, and the refueling does not go, the transmission computer will enable the fault alarm reminder, and the transmission fault light will be lit. Hope it helps.

    After a mechanical failure of the automatic transmission, the engine idles, the transmission slipped, the clutch burned, the refueling failure, and the transmission was severely damaged: the transmission fault light was on, but no other abnormalities were found. The engine revs and revs the same as usual, so you can continue driving, so take the time to check the cause of the transmission failure as soon as possible.

    Indicates a fault in the electronic power control system, possibly in the sensor, line, or PCM.

    The workshop can detect specific faults via computer and then alert them based on the fault**. The fault indicator light on the dashboard is on. Fault Symptom:

    When the vehicle is driving, the automatic transmission fault light flashes, the vehicle locks and starts weakly, unable to fully shift gears, unable to drive at high speed, emergency treatment: wake up immediately, the transmission fault light is on, the engine fault and the transmission indicator light are on, indicating that there is a fault in the electronic power control system, which may be a sensor or circuit fault.

    The workshop can detect the automatic fault light unique to the transmission based on the fault**. Troubleshooting method: Difficult to move, I know it is difficult to shift gears, unable to run smoothly; or when the gear is involved, there is a dentition SOM, and the gear cannot be meshed in severe cases; Fault.

    Engage computer writing problems or electronic components: Since the gearbox signal needs to be processed by the computer, first check the computer control system for faults. Restart the vehicle control panel.

    If the fault indicator does not light up and the transmission control module fails, the vehicle's transmission fault indicator will illuminate.

    There is no doubt that there is a problem with the transmission. What should I do at this point? In this case, we should not blindly move the vehicle, but call the repair manufacturer for the first time.

    Once launched, the dashboard will send you an alert. Use the car computer to read the change transmission fault indicator lights up. Solution 3:

    Replace the transmission seals. During the warranty period, the vehicle will activate the abnormal gearbox gauge or turn on the fault indicator. Generally, it is a gearbox fault alarm, and the fault can be determined by computer detection.

    There are a number of reasons why the automatic transmission fault light is illuminating, and it could be that one of the transmission's sensor connections is faulty. Lack of automatic transmission oil, transmission overheating, one-way clutch slippage, or stagnation can all cause the fault light to turn on.

    It is best to go to the 4S shop for repairs, and they will use a computer to detect it.

    Preamble: In our lives, every family will have a car as a means of transportation for their own transportation. However, cars often have a lot of safety hazards, such as sudden stalling on the road or automatic transmission failure, causing his warning light to turn on.

    Many people are faced with automatic transmission failure warnings, and they will panic when the lights are on. Because in the process of learning the driver's license, they only know how to drive and use lights to drive on the road, but they have not learned how to solve this problem of failure.

    Pull over, so if we encounter such a problem while driving on the road, we should first do things and not panic. If there are other pedestrians in the car, ask them to fasten their seatbelts, pull over in the middle of the road and turn on their safety lights. After all, in the face of any failure and accident, safety always comes first.

    If you fail to make yourself safe in the process of driving a car, it will undoubtedly be a huge disaster for your family after causing some accidents, so we should always be vigilant and always be careful when driving on the road.

    Electronic components are faulty, and if our car is faulty, we should send the car to the vehicle inspection department for inspection in time. Then when we find that our automatic transmission is faulty, we should consider and solve it from the following aspects. The first is whether the electronic components, sensors, and other parts in the automatic transmission are malfunctioning.

    If there is a fault in these places, then the fault light in the gearbox will continue to shine, so as to play a vigilant and adaptive role, at this time we should timely overhaul and replace the broken sensor or resistive element.

    In addition to this fault, there is another reason why the automatic transmission fault light may illuminate, for example, the oil temperature in the transmission is too high, which will cause the transmission warning light to illuminate. Because the temperature is too high, there is no way to cause the gearbox to dissipate heat, and this failure will occur in the hot weather in summer.
