What are the symptoms of a transmission control unit failure?
1 Answers
Transmission control unit failure symptoms include abnormal transmission noise, transmission slippage, and transmission oil leakage. Abnormal transmission noise: Under prolonged high-temperature conditions, the anti-wear and lubricating properties of transmission oil deteriorate, leading to wear or severe wear of bearings, gears, and other components inside the transmission, or damage to gear side surfaces. Transmission slippage: Excessive hydraulic oil level generates a large amount of bubbles when violently agitated by planetary gears during operation, causing wear or burning of clutch and brake friction plates and brake bands. Transmission oil leakage: Transmission oil leakage results in insufficient internal lubrication and accelerates friction between gears, preventing the transmission from functioning properly. Causes of transmission control unit failure: Insufficient gear oil or poor-quality gear oil, severe wear of gear tooth surfaces leading to excessive meshing clearance, fatigue spalling or chipping of gear teeth, excessive wear of intermediate shafts or second shafts, severe wear of spline shafts and internal gear splines with excessive clearance, shaft bending or loose locking components, loose bearings or damaged cages, non-working parts of shift forks making contact or rubbing, etc.
