What causes a transmission code of p0894 to be detected?
There are a number of different issues that can cause the P0894 code to be detected, including: Mechanical failures within the internal transmission. Transmission fluid is low, empty, or contaminated. The internal transmission fluid passages are clogged or blocked. Malfunctioning shift solenoids.
What is the diagnostic code for transmission component slipping?
P0894 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Transmission Component Slipping”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.
What kind of engine is in a 2006 C230?
The M272 V6 engine used in the 2006 C230 has a potential to have a bad balance shaft, which has an idler sprocket gear for the timing chain. It fails prematurely and requires pulling the engine out to repair it. The cost is around $5K. There is a TSB from MBZ that explains the problem and serial number range of the affected engines.
Why does my transmission have a hard shifting problem?
You would be surprised to know that the majority of the transmissions problems such as hard shifting and no shifting issues come from incorrect transmission fluid level or the infamous transmission 13 pin connector plug O-ring. These are easy fixes that you can even tackle yourself.
What does p0893 mean on an OBD code?
If your vehicle has stored a code P0893, it means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has received a data input signal which indicates multiple gears in the automatic transmission have been engaged simultaneously.
What is the severity of p0893 multiple gears engaged?
If the PCM detects that multiple gears of the automatic transmission are engaged simultaneously, a code P0893 may be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminated. What is the severity of this DTC?
When to use a p0894 transmission component slipping code?
This condition is usually accompanied by the distinctive odor of burnt friction material in the fluid. If the PCM detects a degree of transmission slippage that exceeds maximum allowable parameters, a code P0894 may be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illuminated.
