The automatic transmission oil sensor lights up when:
* The oil level in the automatic transmission is below the minimum mark. This may be caused by oil leakage through gaskets, seals, or through the sensor itself.
* The oil in the automatic transmission has overheated. This may be caused by excessive load on the transmission, insufficient oil, or a faulty cooling system.
* The oil in the automatic transmission is heavily contaminated or has lost its properties. This may be caused by prolonged use without changing the oil, using the wrong fluid, or foreign substances entering the oil.
It is important to react immediately when the automatic transmission oil light comes on. Continuing to operate the vehicle with low or contaminated oil levels can cause serious damage to the transmission.
When the automatic transmission oil sensor lights up, you must:
* Stop in a safe place.
* Check the oil level in the automatic transmission using a dipstick and add oil if necessary.
* If the oil level is normal, the oil may be contaminated or overheated. In this case, it is better to contact a car service for diagnostics and flushing of the gearbox.
* Do not continue driving under any circumstances if the automatic transmission oil sensor is on. This may damage the gearbox.
