The speed sensor on your car is an essential piece of a much larger system. By measuring the speed of your transmission, you can tell how fast you’re going at any moment. More importantly, other systems in your vehicle can use the readings from your speed sensor to figure out how the car should behave […]
While engine trouble codes are somewhat well understood these days, automatic transmission codes are still confusing many out there. One of the reasons for this is the lack of uniformity between different transmission systems, which often makes troubleshooting them somewhat tricky. Today we’ll talk about the P0740 transmission code. This is a check engine light […]
Modern automatic transmissions are anything but simple. The everlasting race for ultimate efficiency has forced car manufacturers to pack transmission systems full of all kinds of sensors and electronics. As a result, modern automatic transmissions can experience a whole range of issues, each of them with its own corresponding check engine light code. In this […]
Modern vehicles have come a long way in terms of onboard diagnostic systems. Just about every module in your car is capable of running internal diagnostics and letting you know when something goes wrong. That being said, most check engine light codes people deal with are related to the engine. What many people don’t know […]
The transmission control module is one of the most important parts for cars with an automatic transmission. There are only a few things that can go wrong with it, and one of the issues is followed by the P0613 check engine light code. Any problem with the transmission or TCM should be considered a very […]
Modern engines use variable valve timing that relies on a set of electronically actuated devices to work. Both the intake and exhaust valves are opened and closed electronically to maintain optimal engine performance and fuel economy. On the intake side, this is done by adjusting the intake camshaft timing. When there’s something wrong with the […]
Modern car transmissions are incredibly complex. So much so that they have dedicated computers that control them. These computers rely on a bunch of sensors in the transmission to monitor what’s going on with the system. When one of the sensors fails, or when the transmission isn’t operating as intended, you’ll get a check engine […]
Engine knock is one of those things that cause irreparable damage to your engine. Knock happens when there is an issue with combustion timing. In other words, the fuel isn’t combusting at the optimal time. If ignored, engine knock can destroy pistons. Fortunately, all modern engines have a knock sensor that monitors combustion timing and […]
Engine misfire is one of those issues that many drivers don’t even notice until it becomes severe. When that happens, you could be looking at a costly repair. Fortunately, misfires usually trigger a check engine light code, which will illuminate your dash and tell you that something’s wrong with the car. One of the most […]
