DS4 transmission fault

I'm having trouble with my 2023 Citroen DS4 diesel. At 126882 km, the transmission indicator and check engine lights came on. The automatic transmission is in emergency mode, shifting erratically, slipping, and grinding. Error memory says 'radiator oil pressure defective'. Could it be a defective cable or plug, or is it something bigger?

That sounds like the problem I had with my DS4. Were you checking the radiator coolant or notice anything with the cooling fan before this happened? Mine went into emergency mode and shifted rough. Maybe it's the pressure sensor or the oil cooler. Any coolant leaks?

Thanks! I haven't checked the coolant lately. When this happened to you, did you also get the 'radiator oil pressure defective' error? What was the cause? Was it just a cable issue?

Yes, I got the same radiator oil pressure error. I was hoping for a loose connection or sensor, but it wasn't that easy. A defective cable or plug could be it, but don't rule out other things. Get a diagnostic at a good shop ASAP to prevent more damage. The error was the same, but the error codes meant different things in my case.

Thanks for sharing your experience and insight. I took it to my mechanic, and it was a defective cable connection. The repair was about 95€. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
