Low Transmission Fluid Your automatic transmission relies on hydraulic fluid pressure to operate. In a modern, electronically controlled automatic transmission, shift solenoids control the flow of transmission fluid. In older non-electronically controlled transmissions, shifting was controlled by shift valves, but the idea is the same.

That’s not to say that these systems are impervious to problems, because we all know that any mechanical system will eventually break down, wear out or fail. The current generation of the 4MATIC system is all but bulletproof mechanically speaking. The hydraulic control module on a 4MATIC has at least 12 valves.

Second, it must be able to stop a vehicle under a specific distance if the hydraulic brakes have failed. This will seat the parking brake cables and allow the auto adjuster in the parking brake mechanism to correctly tension the parking brake cables. The parking or emergency brake has to perform two distinct jobs.

During normal braking, the pressure from the master cylinder passes through the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) unaltered. The wheel may start to turn as a result, but if the wheel doesn’t begin rotating, the outlet or dump valve opens to release the hydraulic pressure holding the wheel.
