4 Ciri-Ciri Selenoid Mobil Matic Rusak & Solusinya

One important component to pay attention to is the automatic solenoid. Make sure you don't just use it without noticing the signs of a damaged automatic solenoid. Currently, the latest cars are equipped with an automatic transmission system or what is often referred to as automatic. Unlike motorcycles, this system in four-wheeled vehicles has many types. 

However, the types commonly used in Indonesian cars are Dual Clutch Transmission, Automated Manual, Conventional AT, and Continuously Variable Transmission. As a vehicle owner, make sure you not only use it but also have some knowledge about its components, including the one mentioned earlier. 

Signs of a Damaged Automatic Solenoid

In fact, there are several signs that indicate if the automatic car solenoid is damaged. Here are some of them:

1. Strange noise at the transmission lever

A sign of damage to the automatic car solenoid can be seen from the emergence of strange noises at the transmission lever. This noise usually occurs when shifting gears from N to D, or from P to R. Generally, you will hear a cracking sound. 

2. Heavy or jerky acceleration

Another sign is that the engine feels a bit jolted or vibrates when the gas pedal is pressed and the brake pedal is released. Usually, this problem occurs if the solenoid has suffered significant damage. 

In addition to issues with the automatic solenoid, this problem is often caused by problematic engine oil. So make sure to check both components. 

3. Loss of power

Signs of a damaged automatic solenoid can also be seen when the car suddenly loses power and starts to weaken when used to climb steep roads. In fact, if the damage worsens, the speed can drop drastically. 

4. Jerk when shifting gears

Usually, gear shifting in an automatic car is very smooth. However, if you suddenly feel a jolt, you should be cautious, as this may be caused by a damaged or leaking solenoid, preventing the oil from lubricating the entire engine properly during gear shifts.

Function of the Automatic Solenoid

In automatic cars, the solenoid or transmission serves to regulate oil pressure in the valve body. The solenoid will work by activating the brake and clutch that control the oil. The computer will read the condition of the engine and transmission to regulate the movement of this solenoid. 

Gear shifting can be disrupted or even cause the car to become immobile if the solenoid part is damaged. Generally, this solenoid damage can be diagnosed using an engine scanner. You can also identify the damage from the signs of a damaged automatic solenoid mentioned above. 

Cost to Fix Solenoid Damage? 

If the solenoid is damaged, how much will it cost? When damage occurs in this part, the cost you may incur can reach IDR 2 to 3 million. However, if the vehicle is quite old, or more than 8 years, the repair cost can reach IDR 5 million. 

When you notice the signs of a damaged automatic solenoid, make sure to take the vehicle to a Daihatsu authorized workshop as soon as possible to obtain original part replacements and have it repaired by experienced mechanics. 

Additionally, you won't have to wait long for service, as you can book service online.
