What are the symptoms of a faulty transmission control module?
1 Answers
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.
