A fault code doesn’t yet mean the unit or sensor itself is faulty: often it’s the plug and connector leading to it.
Possible causes
- Old, overheated fluid, varnish deposits
- Scheduled fluid change was missed
- Frequent driving under heavy load, overheating
What you can do yourself
- Check the fluid level and colour per the manual
- Change the transmission fluid per the manual
- After the change, reset the counter with a scan tool if the manual requires it
Stop and don’t drive on if:
- The Check Engine light is flashing
- The temperature gauge is in the red or the overheating light is on
- The red oil pressure light is on
- Smoke from under the bonnet, a burning or petrol smell
- Strong jerking, knocking from the engine, or the car barely moves
