Captur Transmission Control Unit Failure

Anyone else's 2023 Renault Captur hybrid transmission control unit failing? 152285 km, paddle shifters dead, gearbox slips, grinding noise, emergency mode, and a full error memory.

I understand your frustration. My Captur had similar automatic gearbox issues, including slippage and delayed responses. Have you tried any preliminary diagnostics, like checking the transmission fluid level or the electrical connections to the transmission control module?

Fluid seems fine. Wiggled the electrical connections, but I'm no auto electrician. Did yours throw the same error codes and end up being the control unit for sure? Facing a 1000€ repair bill and wondering if it is the control unit or something else.

Yes, the fault codes in my vehicle's diagnostic memory confirmed a defective transmission control unit. Replacing it fixed the issue. I strongly advise against amateur repairs and recommend professional diagnosis and repair, given the complexity of modern automotive systems.

Took it to the shop. Control unit kaput, like you said. 1000€ later, shifts like butter. Thanks for the confirmation; helped me mentally prepare for the damage!
