The error code P0705 indicates a Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction, and the transmission fluid is darker than expected. Possible causes include a defective control unit or issues within the transmission's control system, potentially exacerbated by fluid degradation.

The error code is P0705 - Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction. The transmission fluid level is okay, but it's a bit darker than I'd expect. Could that discoloration be contributing to the issues, even with enough fluid?

P0705, those symptoms, and the fluid discoloration point to a potential issue in the transmission's control system. The discoloration suggests degradation or contamination, which could affect the valve body and sensors. I'd recommend consulting a qualified workshop. They have the tools to pinpoint the cause, which could be a defective control unit. Continuing to drive it could make it worse and more expensive to repair.

I appreciate the assessment. I'll schedule a workshop appointment for a diagnostic evaluation. It seems a defective control unit is likely, with an anticipated repair cost of around 1000€.

That sounds inconvenient. What's the specific error code? Knowing that could narrow things down. Also, have you checked the transmission fluid level and condition? Low or contaminated fluid can cause similar symptoms, and it's easy to check.
