Is Resetting the Transmission Useful?

Resetting the transmission is useful. The original design of automatic transmission reset was intended as an emergency troubleshooting method to restore the transmission control unit (TCU) program when it hangs or crashes. Before resetting the transmission, it is necessary to check the transmission control unit to ensure there are no fault codes. If fault codes are present, the transmission memory function cannot be reset. The core function of an automatic transmission is to enable automatic gear shifting. Automatic gear shifting means that while the car is in motion, the driver operates the accelerator pedal as needed, and the automatic transmission can automatically shift into different gears based on the engine load and the vehicle's operating conditions. Automatic transmissions, as opposed to manual transmissions, are devices that can automatically shift gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM. Currently, there are four common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
