I have a 2001 Jetta 2.0 with an automatic transmission. Three times now my check engine light has came on and my transmission will not shift. The first two times it happened the shop couldn't figure out what it was and just cleared my codes and sent me on my way, telling me that they were false codes. Now it's at a different shop and they are telling me that I need new tires and brakes. They are saying that bad tires and/or rotors can trigger the wheel speed sensor, and that will effect the transmission.

Does anyone know if the wheel speed sensor can effect the transmission? Everything that I have read has led me to believe that the wheel speed sensor would turn my ABS light on, not my check engine light.

 

Its unlikely the ABS sensors are effecting the transmission but with these computer controlled systems anything is possible.

You really need to find someone with VAG-COM\VCDS to do an Autoscan to find what the error number were if you can't remember them? Any fool can clear error codes the trick is to fix them so they don't come back?

So what are you saying farooq341 when you quoted my text and left the quotes off?
