Enjoy Transmission Issues
Summary of the thread
A 2011 Chevrolet Enjoy was experiencing transmission issues, including warning lights, rough shifting, and grinding noises. The problem was traced to a faulty transmission oil temperature sensor, likely caused by low transmission oil levels. It was suggested to check the oil level under specific conditions, and upon doing so, the low oil level was confirmed. After visiting a workshop, the sensor was replaced, and the oil was topped up, resolving the issues.

Thanks for the quick response! I'm not sure I checked it under those exact conditions. I'll double-check that. If the oil level is indeed low, could that really cause all these sensor issues and shifting problems? Is the sensor very sensitive to the oil level?

Yes, a low oil level can absolutely cause those issues. Think of it like this: the transmission relies on that oil for lubrication, cooling, and pressure. If the oil level is too low, the sensor might be reading incorrectly due to overheating, and the lack of proper lubrication can cause the rough shifting and grinding noises. It's best to have it checked by a professional, as continuously running the transmission with low oil can lead to more serious damage. In my experience, a workshop visit is unavoidable here.

Thanks for the advice! I rechecked the oil level as you described, and it was indeed low. I took it to a workshop, and they confirmed that a faulty transmission oil temperature sensor triggered by the low oil level was the issue. Repair cost was 365€. They replaced the sensor and topped up the oil. Everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

I had a similar issue with my Enjoy. The symptoms you're describing, especially the warning lights and the rough shifting, sound very familiar. In my case, the problem was indeed related to the transmission oil. Did you check the oil level with the engine running and the transmission in neutral, on a level surface? It's a bit like checking the engine oil – you need the right conditions for an accurate reading.
