My car suddenly jolts whilst driving
The
engine and the automatic transmission in this vehicle are computer
controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is
stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are
exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure
problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done
such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with
a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within
range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is
correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from
a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring
repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very
rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as
mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune
and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical
issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or
other pressure related problems.

hi, its best you get this looked at soon as possible the chances are it could just be that you need the fluid topping up and will need checking for any leaks.
The problem is if it gets to bad then replacing an auto box is very expensive and is hard to do so its best you get it looked at before it gets beyond repair.
Taking it into a garage will be your best option as they will have a special tool for testing the pressure in the auto box and also the fluid level.
If it has got to bad and cant be solved by fluid alone then the cheapest option would be to get a reconditioned box and getting this fitted as a new one will cost a fortune.
Hope this is some help to you let me know how you get on or if you have any questions ok

Hi, You need to plug in a diag computor to see which part is failing,take it to your local garage they will do this for a small fee.

The light is a warning to get the system checked. It is connected to the main computer and monitors the many sensors. To find out what the specific problem is you can take it to a mechanic who has the diagnostic equipment to resolve the problem. If you are looking to do the work yourself you can take the vehicle to an auto parts store like Auto Zone, NAPA or Schucks where they can attach their code reader to the computer and determine the problem. Most places will do this for free as they want you to purchase the parts you'll need from them. It can be anything from a bad O2 sensor to a need for a tune up. Good luck to you
