Troubleshooting an automatic transmission is the process of diagnosing and identifying faults in an automatic transmission (automatic transmission). It is carried out to determine the cause of the breakdown and develop a repair plan.
Stages of troubleshooting an automatic transmission:
1. Inspection and diagnostics:
* External inspection of the automatic transmission for leaks, damage, etc.
* Computer diagnostics, reading error codes.
2. Disassembling the automatic transmission:
* Removing the automatic transmission from the car.
* Disassembling the gearbox into its component parts.
3. Assessment of the condition of internal parts:
* Checking solenoids, valves, clutches, couplings, gears, bearings.
* Determination of wear, damage, contamination.
4. Troubleshooting:
* Identification of defective parts, controls, sensors.
* Analysis of possible causes of malfunctions.
5. Drawing up a defect report:
* List of identified faults.
* Assessing the condition of the automatic transmission.
* Recommendations for repairs.
The purpose of troubleshooting an automatic transmission:
* Determine the exact cause of the automatic transmission malfunction.
* Draw up a repair plan based on diagnostic results.
* Determine the volume of required spare parts.
* Estimate the timing and cost of repairs.
