Title: Autobox
Post by: Owen on 26 June 2007, 14:04:47
Was out this morning and when coming off the A5 and coming to a stop at athe junction 'Automatic gearbox' appeared on my display.
The car seemed to be stuck in 1 gear! :o  Got home, turned the car off and panicked! ;D
On starting the car up again the autobox seemed to work fine ::)

Any ideas, should I be worried? ;D

How many miles has the gearbox done?

Oil & Filter change?

For some reason, the box detected a fault, and put it in limp mode (hence the MID msg).

Unfortuantely, it needs a good code reader to read gearbox to find out what it stored.

Whatever, it may be worth planning a fluid and filter change on the box (£60ish if you do it yourself).

Isnt limp mode just 3 and 4 ?

But agree you need to get the g/b ecu read for stored codes  :y
A cheapo tech2 might do it.

With the standard supplied software, the cheapo doesn't read autoboxes...
