Possible reasons for automatic transmission kicking after an adaptation reset:
1. Incorrect transmission fluid level:
* Make sure the fluid level is within the specified range for your model and temperature. Too little or too much fluid can cause shifting problems.
2. Contaminated or old transmission fluid:
* Fresh transmission fluid contains additives that reduce friction and improve gear shifting. Contaminated fluid can cause gears to slip and kick.
3. Wear of automatic transmission components:
* After resetting the adaptation, the electronic control unit of the automatic transmission may recognize previously unnoticeable wear, which leads to shifting problems.
4. Malfunction of solenoids or automatic transmission sensors:
* Solenoids and sensors play an important role in controlling gear shifting. Their malfunction can lead to kicks.
5. Torque converter malfunction:
* The torque converter provides a smooth connection between the engine and transmission. Its malfunction can cause kicks when changing gears.
6. Problems with the electronic control unit (ECU) of the automatic transmission:
* The ECU is responsible for controlling the automatic transmission. A faulty ECU can cause the transmission to malfunction.
What to do:
1. Check the level and condition of the transmission fluid.
2. If necessary, replace the transmission fluid.
3. Diagnose the automatic transmission system using a scanner.
4. If necessary, replace faulty components (eg solenoids, sensors).
5. Re-adapt the automatic transmission in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
If the problem persists after these steps, it is recommended that you contact a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
