Possible cvt issue?
Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2023 12:32 am
OK, so I bought a 2012 Suzuki Kisatchie from a dealer body is in amazing shape minus one small fender, bender. Everything checked out on test drive, no issues other than a dead battery. Almost home, and it went into limp mode no power despite how much throttle I gave it, so I did not give it much and limped at home. Car was bought with a Kansas title. I live in Missouri.
Car info, 2012, sls with 129k miles all options available, I change the CVT fluid the weekend I got at home. It was a darker brown, I’ve been flushing it, and trying to maintain within the level limits on the stick.. it’s my son’s first car so he took it out for a drive Saturday. About 40 minutes later same thing started losing power and ability to accelerate, we went at home I hooked up an ODB sensor, and it gave me some codes that I hadn’t had previously. I will upload, some are permanent code, which cannot be cleared by ODB two reader. So my question is, would it be likely something else is causing these codes other than torque converter, sensor or solenoid? Causing this? If it’s transmission I’m taking it to a shop. I don’t enjoy or have more than beyond basic knowledge of transmissions, they are so complicated today
