What is Transmission Oil Pressure Switch?

Inside the car’s automatic Transmission, flows a fluid called Automatic Transmission Fluid or ATF or “Transmission Oil”. Its basic purpose is to lubricate the moving parts of the transmission system. It also builds hydraulic pressure in the Transmission. 

The Transmission Oil Pressure Switch reads the amount of that built pressure and signals the onboard computer. The computer in turn, determines if the clutch should be engaged to shift. 
A car’s Transmission can have several different fluid pressure switches depending on the year, make, model, and the type of Transmission installed in the Vehicle. 
These switches easily wear off, especially in cities where you maintaining a balanced speed is not possible for a longer period of time. 

What are the common symptoms of Faulty Transmission Oil Pressure Switch?

• Vehicle often enters Limp Mode, locking it in a lower gear.
