01:01Number 1 Reduced Transmission Fluid Level.
01:05One reason why your BMW might display such a warning is that its transmission is low on fluid.
01:11Increased friction among key parts because of depleted fluid level can initiate failsafe
01:16measures. As a result, the said warning might get activated.
01:23Number 2 Defective Transmission Sensors.
01:27Numerous sensors are incorporated into your BMW X5 gearbox to monitor different parameters.
01:33If one of these sensors cease functioning, failsafe program might also get activated.
01:39As a part of that program, the Transmission Failsafe Prog. warning might get activated.
01:45Number 3 Electrical Issues.
01:49Communication disruption between gearbox parts because of electrical faults can trigger the
01:53alert. Find out the culprit before it turns into an expensive repair.
02:00Number 4 Mechanical Failure.
02:04Internal mechanical failure can activate Transmission Failsafe Program warning in your
02:09BMW. Worn out clutch packs, damaged gears, malfunctioning torque converter, etc.
02:16can trigger the failsafe program.
02:21Number 5 Overheating.
02:24Excessive heat buildup within the gearbox can also set off the said warning message.
02:31Heavy towing aggressive driving failing cooling mechanism.
02:36Are some of the prominent reasons behind transmission overheating in modern-day vehicles.
