Fortuner radiator oil pressure defective error
Summary of the thread
A 2019 Toyota Fortuner displayed a 'radiator oil pressure defective' error, with transmission and check engine lights on, causing it to enter emergency mode with shifting issues and grinding noises. The suspected cause was a defective cable or plug connection. After confirming normal cooling fan operation and fluid levels, it was suggested that a faulty pressure sensor might be the issue. The problem was resolved by replacing a defective cable at a workshop.

Cooling fan seems okay, and fluid levels are normal. But a faulty pressure sensor... Wouldn't that usually trigger overheating? Is there any way to test the sensor or confirm that's the problem?

It could lead to overheating eventually, but the sensor issue can manifest in other ways first, especially if the signal is intermittent. Does it only happen when the engine is hot? Honestly, with those symptoms and the error code, I'd get it to a workshop to properly diagnose the electrical connections. They have the tools to pinpoint it. I suspect you're on the right track.

Thanks! I had a defective cable. The workshop replaced it. Cost me 95€. All good now!

Interesting. I had similar symptoms on my Fortuner. Was the cooling fan running erratically, or maybe not at all? And did you check the transmission fluid level? I'm wondering if it might be related to the pressure sensor on the radiator.
