What is the fault when the gear indicator light on the dashboard flashes?
1 Answers
The flashing of the gear indicator on the dashboard can be divided into two situations: the gear flashes, but the vehicle can drive normally without any abnormalities; or the gear flashes, and the vehicle cannot shift gears. The former is a normal phenomenon, while the latter requires professional repair shop inspection. Gear flashing is generally caused by the driver shifting gears without stepping on the brake or not pressing the brake fully before shifting. Solution: Follow standard operating procedures when shifting gears. Press the brake fully before shifting. Another possibility is that the transmission needs an upgrade. The transmission upgrade mentioned here does not refer to replacing the transmission, but rather upgrading the vehicle's computer that controls the transmission. The specific cause can only be determined after inspection by professionals. If you encounter this situation in reality and cannot resolve it yourself, it is recommended to promptly visit a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop to identify the cause as soon as possible.
