EMI Interference causing transmission shift issues?
Hello everybody, I've got an interesting one that I haven't had much time to look at other than a test drive and some observations. The core of my post is trying to find a way to test for EMI interference affecting transmission performance on this Phaeton.
It went to the dealer and of they say it needs a transmission, and while I concede that these transmission have a high failure rate and that is most likely the issue, something about it rubs me wrong. It shift and drives fine except for under high load in higher gears. I've been unable to find any accurate documentation as to how this system works as far as setting the above faults for gear ratio, I assume it's comparing input to output speed?
A little back ground on this, customer bought the vehicle in Florida and drove it back to GA fine, about 2 days later these symptoms started. There is no MIL on for these faults which I thought was odd, The customer is kind of a techy guy (has a bunch of accessories in the car which also may be contributing).
Just wanted to see if anybody has ever ran into an interference situation and if you have developed any way to test for it.
Matthew, EMI used to measured in the early years with a Bosch 150 MOT(compact motor tester)They have updated them a few times. You should be able to pick up any anomalies on the BUS that could be considered static using a high quality oscilloscope on the data lines. In this case I have scene more often than not that pin fitment, fretting, or corrosion to be the culprit. I have attached a

Man, sounds like reach for good news to me. But hey, I have long arms too. ;) I always admire the effort to avoid condemning the box. You know it happens every day. You could try looking up the 6Hp19. Data on these can be a royal pain, and it's been awhile since I've had the pleasure. Our diagnosis process for a persistent hard shift with codes like this would go something like this. 1.) Check
