Symptoms of a faulty transmission position sensor are as follows: Automatic gear disengagement: When the transmission sensor is damaged, the vehicle cannot determine its real-time gear position, which significantly affects the transmission's shifting logic. Additionally, gear disengagement can easily cause component wear and housing deformation, leading to serious consequences. Gear confusion: During driving, the vehicle should start in first gear, but due to sensor issues, the transmission may fail to determine the operating condition, potentially shifting into a higher gear. Reduced power: This occurs because the transmission cannot determine the correct gear position, and shifting confusion greatly affects the vehicle's acceleration performance. Severe shifting jerkiness: There are many causes of transmission jerkiness, and sensor failure is one of the more common ones. Transmission jerkiness significantly impacts the driving comfort of the vehicle.
