Transmission Changes

Since the early 1990's, all transmissions have been controlled and activated electronically. This process is accomplished through a series of sensors and solenoids, which are tied in electrically with your in-car computer. All of these electronic parts need to be working for your transmission to operate correctly. Any symptom you may feel in your transmission can be caused by one of these electrical components. Often, your check engine light or service engine soon light will be activated by one of these problems.
