Freed Automatic Transmission Issue

My 2010 Honda Freed with a gasoline engine has an automatic transmission issue. The engine sometimes won't start in park, the check engine light is on, and the gearbox is slipping. A diagnostic check shows an error. Could this be a defective control unit? Has anyone experienced something similar?

That sounds like a headache. I had something similar with my Freed, though not all those symptoms at once. For me, it was a faulty transmission sensor. The car couldn't figure out if it was in park, so it wouldn't start. Have you checked the transmission sensor or park brake? It's like a communication breakdown.

Thanks for the insight. I haven't specifically checked the transmission sensor. Could you provide more detail? Where is it located, and how did you diagnose the issue?

I'm no expert, but the transmission sensor is usually bolted to the side of the transmission. Messing with that stuff can be tricky. The workshop guys used a diagnostic tool that pinpointed the sensor. If you're seeing error codes and the car is acting up, get it checked by a pro. Could save you grief.

I appreciate the advice. I'll schedule an appointment with a trusted workshop. It seems I'm looking at repair costs of around 1000€, apparently caused by an affected control unit. I'll mention the transmission sensor as well!
