I bought my car to the mechanic because my check engine light went on. He says its the transmission but he doesn‘t specialize in that field. My car works perfectly fine without problems. Could be be a minor problem or would I have to replace the transmission.199 Kia Sephiathank you all!
If it's working fine you shouldn't have to replace the transmission. There are a number of OBDII codes - the things that turn on the light - that deal with the transmission but those are almost entirely control system codes. sensors, solenoids, and things like that. Aamco transmission advertises they read the codes for free and will give you a more detailed report (you want to write the codes down - they are a P followed by 4 digits beginning with 07 or 08 for the transmission, like P0705 for Transmission Range Sensor Circuit malfunction (PRNDL Input) which means the transmission control can't figure out what your gearshift is set at. Frankly, I don't have a high level of confidence in Aamco's trustworthiness, so don't agree to anything without a second opinion. Smile, thank them, and go on your way.
you should know that by looking at it if not just look at the manue or call who the person who sold it to you.
in my experience as a mechanic the trans fluid isn't checked oftentimes adequate. working the transmission low on fluid will run you right into a great sort of severe priced issues. between many you will experience skipping and hesitation. the vehicle would be in equipment yet notchronic everywhere. interior the intervening time some drivers will then exchange into annoyed and shop gassing it up. this fuses the indoors clutches jointly exceptionally a lot frying the transmission. i tell all my shoppers in the event that they have there transmission serviced each and every 50,000 miles, they are oftentimes in stable shape. i've got additionally experienced these days motor vehicle manufacturers are making somewhat undesirable transmissions. not a lot you will do settle for get complete guarantee whilst determining to purchase an motor vehicle and computer screen the keep in mind(s) on pronounced motor vehicle. desire this helps!!
Take it to a shop that specializes in transmissions. They can test it and tell you if the problem is really the transmission. If it's not the transmission, I would recommend you take it to a differnet mechanic for a second opinion.
