Mercedes is one of the most sought-after luxury cars by the millennials due to its superior performance and outstanding features. However, issues could crop up from time to time requiring immediate attention. One such concerning issue is related to the functioning of the TCM in your car which makes it difficult to change gears in your vehicle. Have a look at the slide to know the effects of a faulty TCM on your Mercedes.

2. If you are a
Mercedes owner,
then you already
know it is the perfect
blend of luxury &
performance.

3. If you notice
performance
lagging, acceleration
is not good,
problems in gear
change then it
signifies issues.

4. All these problems
could be a sign of
your car’s TCM is
running into trouble.

6. The TCM, or
Transmission Control
Module of your
Mercedes is the
electronic mechanism
regulating the
transmission.

7. The transmission
control module, in
very basic terms, is
how your car transfers
the power of the
engine to the wheels.

8. The TCM is busy
collecting data from
your car, relaying
messages & making
the necessary
calculations to help
the transmission.

9. The TCM receives &
interprets signals from
throttle and brake
position, the
transmission fluid,
turbine speed and
other elements.

10. It has the ability to
send codes to alert the
driver of any potential
issues in your car’s
automatic
transmission system.

11. If your TCM becomes
faulty, your car will
ultimately not be able
to change gears when
required.

12. This could cause
further serious
problems for the
transmission & lead
to irregular gear
shifting.

15. If your Mercedes
suddenly shifts into
a different gear or
into neutral, then it
is a sign of TCM
trouble.

16. Your transmission
could potentially
shift into neutral
without warning
even at high speeds.

18. You might observe
that your engine
continues to roar
with an increase in
the rpm without any
noticeable change in
speed.

19. This is a sign that
the transmission is
struggling to shift
into a higher gear.

21. If your Mercedes is
struggling to drop
down in gear, this
can cause your
engine to over-rev.

22. You will need to
have your car towed
into a service center
if it will not
downshift.

24. In this scenario, your
gears can become
fixed in one gear
position or in
neutral.

25. If you are stuck in
park, or reverse, this
can also become
problematic &
require a tow.

27. A faulty TCM can
often manifest in a
reduced fuel
efficiency in your
Mercedes.

28. This can be one of
the indicators that it
is time to get your
TCM checked out.

30. The TCM can
diagnose potential
problems in the
transmission & send
up a code to alert
you of these.

31. If your check engine
light is illuminated
in conjunction with
above symptoms,
the TCM could be
encountering
problems.
