350Z Transmission Limp Mode
Summary of the thread
A 2009 Nissan 350Z is experiencing transmission issues, including limp mode, warning lights, and unusual noises. The problem is suspected to be related to a radiator oil pressure issue, possibly due to a faulty cable or plug connection. Suggestions include checking the pressure sensor connection for looseness or corrosion. Ultimately, the issue was resolved by replacing a faulty pressure sensor and cleaning up the wiring, confirming the initial suspicions.

Yeah, I wiggled the connector a bit, but didn't see anything obvious. You mean the one on the radiator? Was it visibly damaged when you had the problem?

Yep, that's the one. It wasn't visibly damaged in my case, but the connection was loose and corroded. It might be worth cleaning the contacts and making sure it's properly seated. However, considering your other symptoms, I’d advise you to let a workshop check it out.

Roger that. Cleaned the connector, no dice. Bit the bullet and took it to the shop. Turns out it was a faulty pressure sensor and a bad connection, like we thought. New sensor, wiring cleaned up, and it cost me 95€ Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Sounds familiar. I had similar symptoms with my 350Z. Transmission acting up, lights on... Have you checked the pressure sensor connection? I remember that being a potential culprit.
