John/Horace Posted May 3 Report Share Posted May 3 Always start with scanning for codes. Check fluid to make sure it’s at proper level, doesn’t smell burnt. When was tranny oil and filter done last ? Miles/kms on vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salah-Belkhodja Abdeslem Posted May 5 Author Report Share Posted May 5 hi John , i have presently 180800km on my dashboard, the oil level is correct , i have removed the TIPM and clean it with a special (electronic contact cleaner) it looks better, but i'm still concerned.... the oil (but not the filter) was changed during the summer 2021 @ 150000 (approx). no check engine on the dashbord presently. the most of people are saying : the TIPM is the main source of all troubles.

John/Horace Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 (edited) Transmission codes not always read with a regular obd2 scanner. A transmission shop with a bidirectional scanner should be able to trouble shoot. Just because no light on doesn't mean no codes. No forward gears can be a lot of things. Anything from tcm/computer, shifter mechanism, fluid body etc. And 2009-10 were the bad tpim years. Which can be bypassed with a home made wire harness. You are having a bad run of luck.

John/Horace Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 The scanner you have can't retrieve most transmission codes. Even if dash mil light is not on, sticking in first gear would generate codes. Stop by a transmission shop and ask them to trouble shoot the problem. Plug in a bi-directional scanner that can be used to cycle all the sensors to find problem. Buying random parts not a good idea. If your lucky it's a bad sensor (input or output speed sensor maybe) and not entire transmission that needs rebuilding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
