Ducato transmission issues

I'm having a really bad time with my 2020 Fiat Ducato diesel. The transmission indicator light and check engine light keep popping on, and it's stuck in emergency mode. It's not shifting right, feels like it's slipping, and sometimes I hear grinding. The error memory is full. Is it the radiator oil pressure defective, I have 159224 km, or what could it be? I was thinking about a coolant leak.

Summary of the thread

The potential cause is identified as a defective cable connector related to the radiator oil pressure. The suggested solution is to have a specialist inspect and repair the faulty connection, which successfully resolves the issue.

Sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my old Opel Insignia. The gearbox slipped horribly, like it couldn't decide which gear to pick. Transmission was also acting up. Check your cable or plug connection of the component. Is your car overheating at all? Any signs of a coolant leak?

Coolant leak, you say? Nope, temp seems normal. What do you mean by "cable or plug connection"? Where exactly should I be looking? I'm no mechanic.

Overheating can mess with the whole system. With the Opel, it was a faulty connection to the oil cooler – basically a loose wire. That triggered all sorts of alarms. Honestly, it's probably best to visit a good shop to measure pressure gauge and check oil cooler. They'll sort it out quicker than you tinkering around.

Alright, I give up. Dropped it off at the local specialist. Turns out it was a defective cable connector related to the radiator oil pressure! They charged me 95€ to fix it. Thanks for the advice; you were spot on!
