Skoda Karoq Transmission Problem
Summary of the thread
The Skoda Karoq is experiencing a transmission problem characterized by a malfunctioning gear selection display, incorrect gear engagement, and error codes. The likely cause is suspected to be a defective control unit. It is suggested to check the battery voltage and wiring harness for any issues, as voltage fluctuations can affect electronic systems. However, the primary recommendation is to have a professional technician inspect and potentially replace the control unit to resolve the problem.

Thank you for your prompt response. I have not yet inspected the battery voltage or wiring harness. Could a fluctuation in voltage indeed cause such a comprehensive failure of the gear shift indicator and transmission control?

Yes, a voltage issue can definitely cause those symptoms. Modern automotive electronics are sensitive to voltage fluctuations. However, given the array of issues you're seeing and the error codes stored, it's highly probable that the control unit itself is faulty. It would be best to get it checked out by a professional to confirm.

Sounds like a tricky one! The symptoms you describe—gear selection display malfunction, shifting problems, and stored error codes—all point towards a central control issue. It's like a conductor leading an orchestra with a broken baton; the whole performance suffers. Have you checked the basics like battery voltage and the condition of the wiring harness connected to the transmission control unit? Sometimes low voltage or a loose connection can cause electronic gremlins.
