Transmission control unit no communication fault root cause is that other control units lose communication with the transmission control unit during vehicle operation, leading to the failure of the drive system and the inability of the vehicle to move. This fault code reflects the interruption of communication between the transmission mechatronic control unit and other controllers on the drive bus. Possible causes of the fault include: power supply, grounding, wiring faults of the transmission mechatronic control unit, or the transmission mechatronic control unit itself being faulty. Inspection method for the fault: For the no-signal fault of the transmission control unit, it is necessary to conduct a step-by-step inspection, testing, and judgment from the outside to the inside, from mechanical to electrical, and from software to hardware. Check the power supply fuse, read the gateway data to see if there is communication, perform conventional line checks, and inspect the transmission control unit itself for faults.

I've encountered the issue of the transmission control unit losing communication several times. The main culprits are usually wiring connection problems—like loose or corroded plugs, or crushed wiring harnesses. It could also be insufficient power supply, such as blown fuses or unstable voltage from an aging battery, causing the control unit to become unresponsive. More complex scenarios include communication bus failures, like CAN line short circuits or breaks disrupting the entire network, or internal chip damage within the control unit. A heads-up: ignoring this can lead to serious trouble—your car might shift poorly, get stuck in gear, or even break down mid-drive. The fix typically involves scanning error codes with a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the fault, then replacing damaged components. But don't attempt DIY repairs; leave it to professionals for safety. Remember, regular electrical system checks can nip problems in the bud.

How to Drive a Geely Binyue Automatic Transmission Car?

Automatic transmission is not simpler than manual transmission. The correct starting procedure is: press the brake - shift to N or P gear - ignite - shift to D gear - release the handbrake - release the foot brake - press the accelerator - start, which seems more complicated than manual transmission cars; the correct parking procedure is: press the brake - pull the handbrake - shift to P gear - turn off the engine - remove the key. Note that you must not shift to P gear before releasing the foot brake and pulling the handbrake to avoid the vehicle moving on uneven roads, as the P gear locking function involves the meshing of transmission gears. The specific introduction of Geely Binyue is as follows: 1. Exterior: The Bin series is a new series created by the Geely brand to cater to young consumer groups. It still features the familiar ripple-style family design front face, with two styles of front faces for the sports version and the regular version to cater to different consumers. The sports version adopts a more flattened black logo, sharper fog lights, and an outwardly protruding carbon fiber-like front lip, further enhancing the sporty feel. 2. Interior: The Binyue adopts a space-themed black and brown color scheme, with the center console designed as a wraparound aircraft cockpit. The Binyue is equipped with the ICC intelligent navigation system, including the TJA traffic jam assist system and LKA lane keeping system, which can maintain the lane at all times and achieve intelligent following, stopping, and turning. At the same time, the equipped APA fully automatic parking system can achieve horizontal and vertical parking and horizontal parking exit functions, during which the driver does not need to control the steering wheel, accelerator, or brake. 3. Powertrain: The Binyue offers two powertrain options: 1.0T and 1.5T, with the transmission system matching a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. Among them, the 1.5T turbocharged engine jointly developed by Geely and Volvo delivers a maximum power of 130kW (177PS) and a peak torque of 255Nm.

Can the Engine Start if the Timing Belt Breaks?

The engine cannot start if the timing belt breaks. A broken timing belt can cause severe damage to the internal valves of the engine, posing significant risks. Therefore, it is essential to replace the timing belt and its accessories within the specified time frame. Depending on the engine's structure, the timing belt should generally be replaced when the vehicle has traveled between 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Below is some information about the timing belt: 1. Definition: The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve system. It connects to the crankshaft and ensures the precise timing of intake and exhaust by maintaining a specific gear ratio. 2. Function: The timing belt acts as a bridge between the upper and lower parts of the engine. The upper part connects to the timing pulley on the engine cylinder head, while the lower part connects to the crankshaft timing pulley. The timing pulley is linked to the camshaft, which has cams that interact with small rocker arms. The rocker arms generate pressure through the power transmitted by the timing belt, enabling the lifting action.
