Arkana transmission error

My 2022 Renault Arkana hybrid is acting up. It has 127312 km, and now the transmission indicator and check engine lights are on. It's stuck in emergency mode, shifts poorly, slips, and makes grinding noises. The reader shows a radiator oil pressure defective error. I suspect it's the cable or plug. Has anyone else experienced this?

That sounds rough. Something similar happened to my Arkana last year. First, check the coolant level; if it's low, there might be a leak messing with the pressure readings. Also, check the cooling fan. If it's not working, the system can overheat and trigger those sensors. Did you notice any car overheating?

I checked the coolant, and it seemed fine. No car overheating either. The cooling fan seems to be working. Where did you have a leak, and how did you find it? Was the pressure gauge faulty or something else?

Mine wasn't a straightforward leak; it was a tiny crack in a hose that only leaked when the engine was hot and under pressure. It was impossible to spot at first. After messing around, I took it to a workshop. They pressure tested it and found it quickly. Considering the error codes, especially the transmission stuff, I'd get it checked professionally to be safe.

I appreciate the insight. I booked it in, and you were spot on; it was a corroded connector on the radiator pressure sensor. 95€ later, and it's running perfectly.
