LandCruiser Gear Shift Indicator Fault

My 2008 Toyota LandCruiser with a diesel engine has a gear shift indicator that's completely dead. It won't engage gears properly, shifts are slipping, and it's making grinding noises. There's an error code pointing to a control unit issue. Anyone else had this?

Sounds rough! I had something similar with my LandCruiser, though I can't remember the year. Was your auto trans slipping and showing nothing on the dash? Was it diagnosed as the instrument panel, or something else?

Slipping is an understatement! It's like stirring soup sometimes! And yeah, the dash is blank where the gear selection should be. So, yours was the instrument panel, was it? What exactly went wrong?

Yep, mine was doing the same. Workshop confirmed it was a faulty control unit playing havoc with the gear selection. They replaced it, and it sorted everything. Best get it checked out!

Appreciate the info. Sounds like I'm heading to the workshop then. From what you and the error code are saying, looks like the control unit is the likely culprit. I'll let you know how it goes. Estimate is around 1000€.
