Description:

This diagnostic trouble code is generated if the control software detects that it takes too long to engage Gear 3. The system will automatically attempt to engage the gear a second time.

Reaction:

The control software will delay engagement and attempt a second time to engage Gear 3. This could cause brief operational delays.

Recommendations:

• Inspect Transmission:
  • Conduct a thorough inspection of the transmission system to identify any mechanical issues that might cause delays in engaging Gear 3.
• Check Solenoid Function:
  • Ensure the Gear 3 solenoid is functioning correctly and responding promptly. Replace the solenoid if necessary.
• Software Check:
  • Verify that the control software is up-to-date and functioning correctly. Install any available updates to address potential bugs or issues.
• Monitor Performance:
  • After making necessary adjustments, monitor the performance of Gear 3 engagement to ensure the issue is resolved.

Note:

Timely addressing delays in gear engagement can help maintain smooth operation and prevent further issues with the transmission system.
