Why is the CRV lacking power when reversing?
1 Answers
CRV lacking power when reversing may be due to slippage in the automatic transmission. Check the fluid level and quality of the automatic transmission fluid. The level can be checked using the dipstick. If the fluid level is too high or too low, you will need to add or drain fluid. If the slippage stops after this adjustment, no further repairs may be necessary. If the fluid level is normal, inspect the quality of the fluid. If the automatic transmission fluid appears brownish-black or has a burnt smell, it indicates that the clutch inside the transmission is burnt and requires professional repair. Below are common transmission faults: 1. Oil leakage: Oil seeping from the transmission housing or oil pan can be caused by aging seals leading to poor sealing or manufacturing defects resulting in pinholes in the housing. 2. Engine stalling when shifting into gear: Stalling when shifting into D or R may be caused by a faulty lock-up solenoid valve or a stuck lock-up control valve. 3. Locked gear: Incorrect input or output signals from the transmission, or issues with components or their wiring, can cause this. Sometimes, communication problems between the transmission computer and other system computers can also be the cause. 4. No response when shifting into gear: The vehicle does not move after shifting into D or R and releasing the brake. This is often due to damage to the input shaft or reverse clutch, or failure of the D/R brake. 5. Abnormal noises: Unusual sounds from the transmission area while driving are usually caused by worn parts or improper installation of the transmission.
