Started the car this Am and for barely an instant a tiptronic Emergency message flashed. I mean ever so brief. I continued to start the car and it was normal. Any ideas or causes for concern? 37.8k on the car.

 

Any mods on the car? That happened to me and shortly after my Tiptronic started leaking; I then had the whole trans removed from the car and sent to Renntech for their Tiptronic upgrade..

Do you still have a warranty on the vehicle?

 

Car is a CPO. I'll start looking for leaks. It was an instant flash. and nothing stayed or after that it started and drove fine. I'll check it when I move it for leaks. No mods at all.

 

Nothing to worry about.

Its normally because of low battery voltage.

Voltage decreases so much when cranking the engine, so the connection between ECU and TCU gets corrupted, and then you see the error message briefly.

Thank you so much.
