Also, hybrids and battery electric vehicles use the input from a brake pedal sensor for regenerative braking. Data from the ABS hydraulic control units (HCU) pressure sensors is also used to decipher what the driver is doing. From there, the information can be shared with the engine and body control modules.
It controls fluid flow for smooth gear shifts and works with solenoids , sensors, and hydraulic circuits to automate shifting. Type of valve body : Your vehicle may have an electronic or hydraulic valve body, which can impact the price. Unplug all electrical connectors from the valve body, noting their positions for reassembly.
Insufficient or Contaminated Transmission Fluid If your vehicle has low transmission fluid, it can’t generate the hydraulic pressure needed for gear shifting, which causes the car to rev but not move. In this case, it’ll likely trigger the checkenginelight or engage limp mode.
A customer who had a 2007 BMW X3 was having an erratic problem with the checkenginelight coming on and an issue with the transfer case 4W operation. engine and 6L45 transmission with 65,000 miles on it. In addition, the electrical part of the motor including sensors, etc. The AWD vehicle had a 3.0L

This engages the torque converter, which uses this hydraulic pressure to shift to the correct gear. Transmission control solenoid: Regulates the pressurized hydraulic fluid (line pressure). This limits your engine RPMs and driving gear (on automatic transmission vehicles) to prevent damage to other car parts.
Here are some common signs that could mean its time for a replacement: Checkenginelight activating: If your checkenginelight comes on, it could mean theres an issue with the VVT system, but further diagnostics are needed since this light can indicate various problems.
Contaminated or Low Transmission Fluid Just as motor oil keeps your engine running smoothly, transmission fluid is essential for both automatic and manual transmission systems to function properly. The transmission fluid lubricates and maintains hydraulic pressure for smooth gear shifts. What’s worse? But that’s not all.
We’ll shed light on 9 common warning indicators your car can throw your way — so you can become a savvy driver and sidestep potential breakdowns. If that’s not the problem, this light can indicate worn brake pads, a hydraulic issue, or low brake fluid — all of which can compromise your ability to stop safely.
This results in engine overheating and can cause the temperature gauge to spike into the red zone, triggering the CheckEngineLight. You’ll Be Unable to Steer Easily A bad drive belt can cause the power steering pump to fail, preventing it from circulating hydraulic fluid.
