Autobox gears

versus · 22nd July 2014, 13:29

It is possible to see how car's behaving and changing gears?
I suspect that autobox not selecting all the gears.
That is why want to know in which gear the box is. Maybe I can check this with android torque or other tool?
I changed oil (VYK 00040) this year.

As far as I know you can't use a diagnostic tool to see which gear it's in, however by setting off from a standstill you can watch the RPM counter and watch as it changes gear.
Did you check the level once changed? You need to remove the level plug with the car on flat ground, the engine running, and the oil between 35 and 45 degrees Celcius (gearbox nice and warm to the touch)

Delphi/Autocomm tools will show you this live data, including the gear selected by the control unit, gear engaged, shaft speeds, torque, temperature, etc.

I would guess that most tools of that standard would also do it, so possibly also Solus Pro, Black Box, etc.
