Possible reasons for automatic transmission emergency mode when shifting gears:
* Low level or poor quality transmission fluid.
* Worn or faulty automatic transmission solenoids.
* Faulty vehicle speed sensor.
* Problems with wiring or automatic transmission control module.
* Incorrect transmission pressure.
* Wear of the clutch or automatic transmission brake bands.
* Clogged automatic transmission filter.
* Mechanical damage inside the automatic transmission.
Actions in case of automatic transmission emergency mode:
* Stop safely. Pull off the roadway if possible.
*Turn the engine off and on again. This can reset the error code and take the automatic transmission out of emergency mode.
* Check the level and condition of the transmission fluid. Add liquid if necessary.
* Scan for trouble codes (DTCs). This can help determine the specific cause of the automatic transmission malfunction.
* Contact a car service. If restarting the engine and diagnosing fault codes does not help, the automatic transmission will most likely need to be repaired or replaced.
To prevent the occurrence of an automatic transmission emergency mode, it is recommended:
* Change transmission fluid and filters regularly.
* Drive smoothly, avoid sudden acceleration and braking.
* Correct any problems with the automatic transmission in a timely manner.
* Use high-quality transmission fluids recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
