Qashqai Transmission Oil Pressure Sensor Fault

My 2011 Nissan Qashqai diesel (93980 km) has the engine warning light on. Diagnostics say it's a transmission oil pressure sensor fault. The gearbox goes into emergency mode, sometimes slips when shifting, and makes grinding noises occasionally. Could low gearbox oil be the problem?

A 2011 Nissan Qashqai diesel exhibited an engine warning light, with diagnostics indicating a transmission oil pressure sensor fault.

I had similar symptoms with my Qashqai. If the error memory also shows the pressure sensor, check the gearbox oil level first. It's the simplest thing, and I've heard of it fixing the problem. Has the oil ever been changed?

Thanks. When you had similar symptoms, was the error code specifically for the transmission oil pressure sensor? I want to be sure we're talking about the same thing.

Yes, my error code was also for the transmission oil pressure sensor. Checking the oil level might fix it, but the sensor itself could be bad. If adding oil doesn't work, you might need a workshop to diagnose the sensor.

Thanks for the confirmation. The oil level was low. Fixing that didn't clear the error, so I replaced the sensor for 365€. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.
