What Causes the Gear Indicator to Disappear in an Automatic Transmission Car?

[DiEden]

If the car continues to operate normally when the gear indicator is not displayed, the issue likely lies with the electrical circuit or the gear-related sensors. It is necessary to check whether the wiring or connectors are secure. Below is an explanation of the automatic transmission gears: 1. P (Park): Used when parking the car. The wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. 2. R (Reverse): Used for reversing the car. 3. N (Neutral): Used for temporary stops, such as at a red light. Note that this gear indicates neutral, and to prevent the car from rolling on a slope, the brake must be engaged. 4. D (Drive): The forward gear, also known as the driving gear. This is used when moving forward. 5. L (Low): The low gear. When going downhill or descending a long slope, shifting into this gear restricts the car to the lowest gear, allowing the engine to assist in braking. This prevents the brake pads from overheating due to prolonged braking, which could be dangerous.
