What is the reason why the Changan Benben IMT automatic transmission cannot shift gears?
2 Answers
Changan Benben IMT automatic transmission cannot shift gears due to a damaged brake light switch, which prevents the gear from moving. In such a situation, if you are in a remote area where the rescue vehicle will take a long time to arrive, a temporary emergency solution is to remove the brake light bulb or disconnect the two wires of the brake light. Below is an introduction to the Changan Benben: 1. Body dimensions: The Changan Benben has a body length of 3525mm, width of 1650mm, height of 1550mm, a wheelbase of 2365mm, and front and rear track widths of 1400mm and 1385mm respectively. 2. Power: The Benben is equipped with a new 1.3L all-aluminum engine, which provides strong power and also features a long service life, high power, low vibration, low noise, low fuel consumption, and low emissions.
Our family has been driving the Changan Benben IMT automatic transmission for a while now, and sometimes it's quite frustrating when the gear won't engage. I've found that the issue usually stems from a few common areas: most frequently, it's because the foot brake isn't pressed down completely—the IMT transmission relies on the brake signal to initiate the gear-shifting action, and if it's not pressed firmly enough, it won't recognize the command. Another issue could be insufficient battery power; the IMT requires electricity to drive the clutch actuator, and low battery levels can cause it to stutter or fail to move. There's also the possibility of a faulty gear position sensor, which might misread the position and prevent the gear from engaging. Additionally, if the transmission oil is too dirty or too low, it can affect the hydraulic system's operation, leading to delayed or failed gear shifts. Loose wiring connectors or software bugs in the electronic control unit, like freezing, can also cause trouble. Usually, I try restarting the vehicle or charging the battery myself, and if that doesn't work, I take it to the repair shop. I recommend checking the brake action and dashboard lights before each drive and keeping up with regular maintenance, including oil changes. Small issues can accumulate into major problems, so it's best not to overlook them.
