Ford S-Max problems: Jerking and transmission control light

Hello everyone, I own a 2013 Ford S-Max with a diesel engine and 142,661 km on the odometer. I have the following problem: When accelerating, the vehicle jerks and the transmission control light comes on. Has anyone had similar experiences or can give me tips on troubleshooting? Thank you in advance!

Check the transmission fluid level and condition first. Low or dirty fluid can cause jerking and trigger the transmission light. If the fluid is fine, it might be a sensor issue. Let me know how it goes or if you have further questions!
