Question:

Got transmission fixed and now check engine light and abs and tcs lights are on?

My transmission pump went and my car got fixed. None of the lights were on. I got the car back and now the check engine light, ABS, and TCS lights are all on on the dash. What would case this?Thanks!

Answer:

Was that tranny repaired by the Soup Sandwich Transmission Shop? Soup sandwich is a military term for F--ked Up! They obviously boogered something up when they dropped the tranny. You need to have the car physically inspected by a 3rd party shop and they can look at the wire harness and the numerous sensor plugs on the wire harness that maybe have been unplugged or damaged if they didn't disconnect the wire harness from a secured strap on the tranny housing. If they didn't disconnect this wire harness when they dropped the tranny, they might have broken several engine sensors when the wires were yanked by the weight of the tranny being lowered. Or they may NOT have secured the engine with a cross brace bar that hold the entire weight of the engine when they remove the tranny so it doesn't fall down or fall back against the firewall. If the engine falls back against the firewall, it can crush the wires inside the wire harness or completely cut them in half when the weight of the engine pinches them against the firewall. Might want a new car dealership to do the inspection and diagnostic in case you need to go to small claims court later to collect some cash. If this was a reputable tranny shop, they will make it right without being sued. Good Luck!
What would case this? Broken stuff. Go get the codes.
well not know what car you have off the top of my head I'm thinking speed sensor.That is normally the first thing that will light up the ABS and traction control lights.The cars computer doesn't know how fast each wheel is turning(or in your case possibly the output speed of the tranny) it can no longer operate those systems so it gives you those lights in the dash.If you have a front wheel drive car I'm sure they had to remove a wheel or two to get the tranny out so youproblem could be at the wheel or the transmission.Take it back and have them check it out.If you want to arm yourself with a lil info go by a local auto parts chain and have the code read so you know what kind of problem you're dealing with
