A faulty Transmission Control Module (TCM) can present several noticeable symptoms, including:
- Erratic Shifting: The transmission may shift unpredictably, causing the vehicle to jerk or hesitate.
- Stuck in Gear: The vehicle might get stuck in a particular gear, often "limp mode," which restricts the car to second or third gear to protect the transmission.
- Transmission Slipping: You may notice the transmission slipping between gears, resulting in a lack of power and acceleration.
- Poor Fuel Economy: A malfunctioning TCM can lead to inefficient transmission operation, reducing fuel efficiency.
- Check Engine Light: The check engine light or transmission warning light may illuminate on the dashboard, indicating an issue with the TCM.
- No Gear Engagement: The transmission may fail to engage gears properly, leaving the vehicle unable to move.
