How to Resolve Transmission Emergency Operation Mode?
2 Answers
Transmission emergency operation mode indicates a problem with the transmission. If a warning light appears on the dashboard, it is recommended to stop the vehicle and wait for assistance. The transmission is a crucial component in a car, responsible for changing speed and torque. Without a transmission, the car cannot operate normally. There are two types of transmissions: manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. Additional information: 1. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in cars: AT transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, and CVT transmissions. A dual-clutch transmission is a product developed based on manual transmissions, and its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission. 2. A dual-clutch transmission only has one additional clutch and a set of shift control mechanisms compared to a manual transmission. One clutch in a dual-clutch transmission controls the odd-numbered gears, while the other controls the even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer fast shifting speeds and relatively high transmission efficiency. 3. A CVT transmission is an automatic transmission with a relatively simple internal structure, consisting of only two cone pulleys and a steel belt. The steel belt in a CVT transmission can move on the cone pulleys, allowing the transmission to change speed and torque.
That day when I was driving my Tiguan on the highway, suddenly the dashboard displayed 'transmission emergency mode', the car body shook violently and couldn't accelerate. I quickly turned on the hazard lights and pulled over to the emergency lane, turned off the engine and waited for 5 minutes before restarting, and the warning light finally went off. At the repair shop, they plugged in the computer and found out that the transmission pressure sensor was broken. The boss said that German cars have sensitive electronic systems, and minor issues can lock the transmission. After replacing the sensor and performing the matching, it should be fine. It's recommended not to force the car to drive in such situations, as grinding the automatic transmission can destroy it. If turning off and restarting doesn't work, call for roadside assistance, and it's safest to tow the car with the hook in N gear. For regular maintenance, remember to change the transmission oil every 60,000 kilometers, and the filter and oil pan should be replaced thoroughly.
