The simultaneous illumination and flashing of the check transmission light and the airbag light in your 1995 Isuzu Trooper, along with the transmission downshifting, indicate that there may be an issue with the vehicle's electronic control system. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:
Check for fault codes: The first step is to retrieve any stored fault codes from the vehicle's onboard diagnostic system. You can use an OBD-II scanner or take the vehicle to a mechanic who can perform a diagnostic scan. The fault codes will provide more specific information about the systems that are experiencing issues.
Inspect wiring and connections: Electrical issues can cause intermittent problems. Inspect the wiring harnesses and connectors related to the transmission and airbag systems. Look for any signs of damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Repair or replace any damaged components and ensure all connections are secure.
Test the battery and charging system: A weak or failing battery, as well as an inadequate charging system, can cause erratic electrical behavior. Check the battery voltage and have the charging system tested to ensure they are operating within the manufacturer's specifications.
Verify transmission fluid level and condition: Ensure that the transmission fluid level is correct and that the fluid is clean and in good condition. Low fluid level or contaminated fluid can affect the transmission's performance. If the fluid level is low, top it up to the recommended level using the proper type of transmission fluid.
