Clipper transmission issues

My 2004 Nissan Clipper with a gasoline engine (171009 km) is having issues. I think it's a defective radiator oil pressure sensor. The transmission indicator and check engine lights are on. The automatic transmission seems to be in emergency mode, shifting erratically with slippage, unclean shifts and grinding noises. An error code is logged, and my research points to the sensor's cable or plug. Has anyone else had this?

A 2004 Nissan Clipper is experiencing transmission issues, with the transmission indicator and check engine lights on, erratic shifting, slippage, and grinding noises. The problem is suspected to be a defective radiator oil pressure sensor or its connection. After consulting with others, it was suggested to check the coolant level and cooling fan operation, as overheating could also cause similar symptoms. Ultimately, the issue was resolved by fixing a faulty connection to the sensor, confirming the initial suspicion.

I have a Clipper and had something similar. Did you check the coolant level? Is the cooling fan running properly? A faulty sensor could be it, but these symptoms can also be from overheating.

Thanks! I don't see any coolant leaks, and the level seems okay. How can I check if the cooling fan is working right? Any diagnostic tips?

If the engine is getting hot and the fan isn't turning on, that's a good sign of a problem. But with the transmission issues and error codes, I'd get it checked by a workshop. It could be more than just a sensor.

Thanks for the advice! I took it to a mechanic, and it was a faulty connection to the radiator oil pressure sensor, costing 95€. Your advice helped me get it fixed quickly!
