Product Description
Transmissions are controlled by the engine control system and use many of the same sensors. Many apparent transmission faults are caused by the engine controls. For example, misfire and surging can feel like a transmission fault. The technician must be able to determine if the problem is in the engine or the transmission. Some transmission shifting faults can be solved by a driveability technician as well.
The goal of this class is to prepare the aftermarket technician to diagnose these problems and make the repair. This will enable the shop to increase their scope of repair to include transmissions.
After completing this class, a technician will be able to:
- Understand electronic transmission operation
- Identify components used to control shifting
- Repair many symptoms without transmission removal
- Use scan data to determine shift operation
- Determine faults caused by components such as, solenoids, shift valves, and engine control inputs
- Determine if a symptom is caused by the engine or the transmission
- Determine if a shifting problem can be repaired without removing the transmission
