Easytronic transmission
This 5-speed transmission is automatic and it combines the advantages of manual gear changes and automatic.
How it works
It automates the use of the clutch and manual transmission changes.
If the driver selects the automatic mode, the box Easytronic will behave as if you were driving a car with hydraulic gearbox. This new system performs very efficiently, offering a sporty drive with low power and even when this degree in automatic mode.
Main components
Electronic selector lever, auto-adjusting clutch actuator and CPU with integrated transmission actuator (consisting of an engine selection or switch) and electronic throttle control. Also, there is no clutch pedal, as the same vehicle is responsible for the shift.
Advantages
Some additional advantages of this new system is light weight (4 kilos more than a common manual gearbox), reduced space and flexibility that gives the driver the daily traffic situations, including their cost is less than half the price of a box automatically.
Failures
A permanent fault in the Easytronic transmission belts of the Corsa and Meriva models is that the sensor device is adapted to a manual gearbox with clutch which measures the turns of the wheel changes electronically has still a clutch system wear that a certain time gives the order to appear on the board a letter "F" and the car will not turn over.
One solution would be to moderate the speed of the clutch wear is not acting on the box Easytronic manual transmission because the clutch wear is what sends electronic information to the board with the famous letter "F" and in this case the car turns off and no longer turn back on.
Diagnosis
To make proper diagnosis in this transmission is necessary to have the tool and proper diagnostic equipment, this time use the new module 9260 Easytronic Injectoclean brand for the scanner CJ4 LA.
This module is for diagnosis and reprogramming OPEL cars equipped with Easytronic transmission.
The module of Injectoclean Easytronic 9260 can perform the following diagnostic tests and reprogramming of the transmission:
- Recovery and erasing fault codes. (DTC's)
Data-flow: this option is a very important part of the team, because we can see on screen all data related to the Easytronic system as they are, wear Clutch, brake switch, activated speed etc.
Purge-Clutch. In this test the CJ4 Easytronic scanner motor drives the clutch and through displacement sensor measures the position of the collar with respect to the clutch collar. Besides performing the purging of the hydraulic system.
"Learning from the gearbox. Learning or geometry of the gearbox powering the CJ4 Scantool all changes of 1a to 5-speed and including reverse and fits well the activation of the actuators for speed changes.
-Adaptation of the coupling point. With this test the control module Easytronic factory settings restores the timing of clutch - speed selection.
These tests can only be done with the scanner module CJ4 LA and of Injectoclean Easytronic 9260.
