Does an Automatic Transmission Have an Idle State?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission does have an idle state. The idle state of an automatic transmission refers to a working condition where the engine of an automatic transmission car is running without load. When the engine is running, if the accelerator pedal is completely released, the engine will enter the idle state. During idle speed adjustment, the RPM should not fluctuate abruptly, as this can cause premature wear to the engine. It is recommended to have the idle speed adjusted at an automotive repair facility. Idle speed refers to the engine running without any load, only overcoming the internal friction resistance of its components, without delivering any external power. It is a low RPM that maintains stable engine operation and is one of the five basic operating conditions of an engine. A well-functioning engine typically has an idle speed ranging from 550 to 800 RPM.
