What Causes Transmission Failure in BMW Cars?
1 Answers
BMW transmission failure can be attributed to the following reasons: Transmission Control Program Issues: When no obvious faults are found and no error codes are detected during diagnosis, reprogramming or upgrading may be necessary. Transmission Fluid Problems: BMW recommends changing the transmission fluid every 60,000 to 100,000 kilometers. If the vehicle is within this mileage range and experiences such issues, replacing the transmission fluid is advisable, regardless of whether it is ultimately the root cause. Power Circuit Issues in the Transmission Control Module: For example, poor contact between the fuse and fuse socket in the wiring can lead to socket melting or burning, resulting in intermittent dashboard warnings such as "Transmission Malfunction." Loose transmission grounding can also contribute to this problem.
