How to Deal with the Transmission Warning Light on Baojun 510?
2 Answers
It may be a fault in the transmission computer or electronic components. Check if there is a malfunction in the computer control system. Replace any damaged electronic components. If the transmission oil contains impurities or is severely insufficient, add or replace the transmission oil and have a professional conduct a comprehensive inspection of the transmission.
Don't panic when the transmission warning light comes on. I've encountered similar situations before - it's usually due to low fluid level or sensor issues. When this happened with my Baojun 510, I immediately pulled over with hazard lights on. I tried checking the transmission fluid level myself: park on level ground, turn off the engine and wait a few minutes, then check the dipstick. If the fluid is low or appears dark, there might be potential issues. I also paid attention to any unusual noises or sluggish gear shifting, as these indicate problem severity. Never force the car to keep driving, or you risk serious transmission damage. Later, the dealership found it was just a dirty sensor - a simple cleaning fixed it for just tens of yuan. Remember: regular fluid changes and maintenance can prevent this - check the fluid at least every 50,000 km.
