What can cause a transmission to act up?
Other problems that can cause your transmission to act up can usually be identified with a few diagnostic tests. If you have a problem like low pressure in your transmission case or a bad transmission oil pressure sensor switch, this could tell your engine’s computer to turn on the check engine light.
How does a transmission work in an electric car?
Electric cars don’t have transmissions as an electric motors delivers power and torque very differently than a combustion engine. And frankly, they don’t need so much of a crutch, which is really all a transmission is.
What can cause an automatic transmission to fail?

Why does my car have a bad transmission?
Most transmission control modules use inputs from other sensors on the vehicle. If a vehicle can’t accurately calculate the load on the engine, it will adjust the line pressure and slippage to the inaccurate calculation.
Where does the power for a transmission come from?
Wrong. In fact, there’s a good chance you just found your transmission problem. That’s because nearly every shift on today’s transmissions is operated electrically through a computer system. And that computer system gets its power from — you guessed it! — the battery.
