Transmission control module failure symptoms include the transmission being unable to shift gears normally, resulting in the vehicle's inability to operate properly. The transmission control unit (TCU) is only present in vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions; manual transmission vehicles do not have a TCU. The TCU acts as the brain of the automatic transmission, collecting data through various sensors and controlling gear shifts via actuators after processing. There are three common types of automatic transmissions in vehicles: CVT transmissions, dual-clutch transmissions, and AT transmissions. Dual-clutch transmissions are currently popular automatic transmissions, developed based on manual transmissions. Their structure is similar to manual transmissions, with the main difference being an additional set of clutches and gear shift control mechanisms compared to dual-clutch transmissions.

What are the four major components of a car?

The four major components of a car are the body, engine, chassis, and electrical system. The body is the part of the vehicle used for carrying passengers or cargo, including the body shell (frame), exterior body panels, interior trim, and electrical accessories. The body of a sedan or bus is generally a unitary structure, while the body of a truck usually consists of two parts: the cab and the cargo compartment. Based on whether it bears the chassis structure, car bodies can be classified into three types: unibody, semi-unibody, and body-on-frame. The heart of the car—the engine. The engine burns fuel to generate power, which is then transmitted through the chassis drivetrain to propel the vehicle. The valve train consists of the cooling system, lubrication system, starting system, ignition system, and fuel supply system. Components such as the transmission, rear axle, and wheels belong to the chassis. The chassis supports the entire vehicle and receives power from the engine to drive the car. All other parts of the car are assembled on the foundation of the chassis. According to their different functions, the chassis can be divided into four major systems: the suspension system, steering system, drivetrain system, and braking system. The car's electrical system is mainly divided into two categories: power generation and electrical equipment. The power generation category consists of the alternator and battery, while the electrical equipment category includes lighting devices, display devices, ignition systems, regulators, audio systems, etc.

How to Switch to Instant Fuel Consumption?

The button on the top of the wiper, press up and down to switch. Below is an introduction to the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: 1. Introduction to fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers refers to the fuel consumption of a vehicle traveling 100 kilometers on the road at a certain speed. It is a theoretical indicator of the vehicle. The fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is a value measured by the manufacturer in an objective environment using a dynamometer installed on the chassis of the vehicle, converted into speed parameters, and then calculated as the theoretical experimental fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of the vehicle model at a specified speed. 2. Calculation method of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers: Calculation method: (Refueling amount ÷ fuel price) ÷ driving kilometers × 100 = fuel consumption (liters). Most vehicles now display the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers.

Can the lost original key be replaced?

It is possible to replace a lost original car key. Below is relevant information about car keys: 1. Remote key: The most common type on the market today is the remote key. Unlike traditional mechanical keys that require insertion into the car's keyhole to start the engine, this type can remotely unlock and start the car at close range. The higher the car's price, the more expensive it is to replace the key, usually costing thousands, with some even reaching tens of thousands. It's crucial to replace the key immediately after loss to prevent potential risks. 2. Smart key: Smart keys can emit infrared signals to open one or two doors, the trunk, and the fuel filler cap, and can also operate the car's windows and sunroof. More advanced smart keys resemble credit cards. When the driver touches the door handle, the central locking system activates, sending a wireless query signal. After the smart key card responds correctly, the car lock automatically opens. The engine will only start when the central processor detects the key card inside the car.
