Peugeot 308 automatic transmission solenoid valves
Solenoid valves (solenoids) are important components of the Peugeot 308 automatic transmission. They are responsible for controlling the flow of fluid in the torque converter, transmission and friction packs, ensuring smooth gear changes.
Location and functions
In total, the Peugeot 308 automatic transmission has 6 solenoid valves:
* Torque converter lock-up valve: Locks the torque converter at high speeds, increasing efficiency.
* Pressure Control Valve: Regulates transmission fluid pressure for smooth gear changes.
* Friction pack control valves: control the turning on and off of the friction packs, which are responsible for gear shifting.
Signs of malfunction
Faulty solenoid valves can cause a variety of symptoms, such as:
*Hard shifting
* Gear slip
* Jerking or vibration when shifting
* Torque converter slipping or jamming
*Transmission fluid leak
Causes of malfunction
Several factors can lead to malfunction of automatic transmission solenoid valves:
* Wear or dirt
* Electrical faults in wiring or connectors
* Faulty gear shift mechanism
* Transmission fluid problems (low level or contamination)
Diagnostics and repair
Diagnosis of faulty automatic transmission solenoid valves usually includes:
* Reading fault codes using a scanner
* Checking electrical wiring and connectors
*Checking transmission fluid pressure
Repair includes replacing faulty valves or the entire automatic transmission in case of serious damage.
Service
Regular transmission and transmission fluid maintenance is critical to preventing solenoid valve problems. This includes:
* Regular replacement of transmission fluid and filter
*Check the transmission fluid level every 6 months or 10,000 km
* Avoiding harsh driving and aggressive gear changes
* Regular inspections by a qualified mechanic
