What causes the occasional transmission failure in the 2017 Octavia?
1 Answers
The reasons for the Skoda Octavia's transmission warning light to illuminate are as follows: 1. Sporadic or persistent faults in the automatic transmission's electronic components (sensors, solenoid valves, control unit) can cause the transmission warning light to come on (some models do not have a dedicated transmission warning light, and transmission faults may trigger the engine warning light instead); 2. Mechanical failures in automatic transmission models, such as engine idling, transmission slipping, clutch burnout, or failure to move despite acceleration, can prompt the transmission control unit to activate a fault alert, causing the transmission warning light to illuminate; 3. Overheating of transmission fluid can also trigger the warning light. This may occur due to overfilling the transmission fluid, internal or external blockage of the transmission cooler (common during hot seasons), or high-temperature protection activated due to slippage in the torque converter.
