Saxo Radiator Oil Pressure

My 2002 Citroen Saxo with a gasoline engine has a radiator oil pressure issue. The transmission indicator and check engine lights are on. The automatic transmission is stuck in emergency mode, shifts erratically, slips, and makes grinding noises. Error is stored in memory. Suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Thoughts?

Saxo, eh? Sounds familiar. I had similar symptoms with my Saxo. Transmission light, weird shifting. Was it doing it all the time or just intermittently?

Intermittent at first, now it's constant. What was the resolution for yours? Was it as simple as a cable?

Mine ended up being more involved, unfortunately. I chased the intermittent thing for ages. Turned out to be a faulty pressure sensor within the cooling system throwing everything off. Had to go to a workshop in the end. Would suggest the same for you.

Thanks for the insight. Turns out the workshop confirmed it. Defective cable to the pressure sensor as suspected. Repair cost 95€. Problem solved.
