Problem with my 2002 pontiac grand am
Mileage = 99,479
Engine size 2.4
dash lights = trac off light, service engine soon
work done prior = transmission flush
work done to repair = none
tip/donation yes
tech = kk
question = When the trac off light comes on, it makes a thump when it
goes through the gears. It is in a shop right now, but the light is not
coming on and they don't know what it is.
KK:
If the service engine light is or was on, then there IS a trouble code stored in the
computer.
This is the key to finding out what system has a problem.
There are several engine light codes that can cause trans. shifting problems.
A common one is a code for the
Intake Air Temp sensor(IAT). A problem with the sensor, the connector
unplugged, or the wires at the sensor connector will give a code,
and affect transmission shifting.
P0112 or P0113 are the codes for the IAT sensor.
Sometimes after an oil change, the
sensor may have been left unplugged,
as they may have unplugged it and removed the intake air duct to gain access to
the oil filter on this engine.
