Skoda Kodiaq emergency mode gearbox problems
(Translated from Romanian)
Summary of the thread
A Skoda Kodiaq owner is experiencing a gearbox issue where it enters emergency mode after longer drives, particularly on twisty roads. A mechanic suggested that the problem might be related to a spiral sensor in the steering wheel, as ESP errors are present in both the engine and gearbox. The mechanic initialized the sensor, which may resolve the issue, but further testing on a longer drive is needed. If the problem persists, checking the battery, alternator, wiring, gearbox fluid level, and gearbox mounts are recommended steps.

It's possible that the spiral sensor could be causing the ESP errors, which might affect the gearbox. However, before replacing it, check the battery and alternator to ensure they are providing consistent voltage, as electrical issues can sometimes trigger similar problems. If the battery and alternator are fine, then consider inspecting the wiring and connections related to the ESP system. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
The same mechanic, told me that, the sensor was not initialized...and that, he gave it an initialization and I might not have any more problems. Until I take a longer drive, I won't be able to tell, because, around town I don't have these problems I described above.

Take a longer drive when you can to see if the issue persists. If the problem returns, consider checking the gearbox fluid level and condition, as low or degraded fluid can cause similar symptoms. Let me know how the test drive goes or if you have any further questions!

The gearbox fluid, I changed it 2 weeks ago.

Since the gearbox fluid has been recently changed, ensure that the fluid level is correct and there are no leaks. If the issue persists, it might be worth checking the condition of the gearbox mounts, as worn mounts can cause stress on the gearbox during twisty drives. Keep me updated on your findings or if you have more questions!
