How to Deal with High Transmission Fuse Temperature?
1 Answers
To address excessive transmission temperature, first pull the vehicle over to allow the transmission temperature to gradually decrease. Check if the transmission's radiator fan is functioning properly and inspect whether the coolant and transmission fluid are at adequate levels. After these checks, once the transmission temperature returns to normal and the dashboard warning light turns off, you may continue driving. The causes of transmission overheating are as follows: 1. High engine and coolant temperature: Prolonged engine overload can increase coolant temperature, thereby affecting transmission cooling; additionally, insufficient coolant in the radiator reduces the cooling system's effectiveness, leading to transmission overheating. 2. Transmission clutch slippage: Clutch slippage generates additional heat, raising transmission temperature and degrading transmission fluid quality, which increases transmission wear. 3. Thermostat sticking: If the transmission's thermostat sticks, the fluid cannot circulate into the cooling system, preventing heat dissipation. 4. Insufficient transmission fluid: Low transmission fluid levels increase gearshift jerkiness and reduce cooling efficiency, causing temperature rise and potential internal component damage. 5. Clogged radiator grille: A blocked grille prevents timely heat dissipation, leading to increased transmission temperature.
