E34 Auto Tranny Prob.

[Bp88]

I was driving my E34 to Cameron Highland and on the half way through the journey (when I was going up the hill) out of sudden the VDO display following message with a warning sound "Trans Programs" at the same time the auto gear position indicator go off as well.AFter I stop the car, the same message come up again and aks me to refer to manual handbook. After restart the engine, everything back to normal. The same scenario happen again when I was on the way down from the hill. Is this an indication of expensive tranny repair? :getyourfactsright: or just a minor problem?ANyone have the same problem?Anyway my E34 is 525i (24V) auto tranny. Thanks in advance.

is that just an electrinic problem or Mechanical problem?
When I shift to M and pull down to 2nd gear while going up and down hill. The "Trans Program" didn't appear anymore.
What could be the prob?

Thanks Lozo.

It seem that my problem is almost identical to their problem.

It may be the electronic prob instead of the mechanical prob.

By where can I trace the prob and solve it.

DIY????? :nyehehe:

Have to check for those lose connectors ....

Get a diagnostic from a shop with at least MoDIC II machine. It will tell you the fault code so that you can nail down the problem.
