SpaceTourer Transmission Oil Pressure Sensor Fault

Thanks! I haven't checked the oil level yet because I don't know where the dipstick is, or how to check the transmission oil level on this model. If the oil level is okay, how do I check the sensor and wiring?

Checking the level on that transmission without the right tools is difficult. There’s no dipstick. You need to get under the car and remove a fill plug. If it's low, nothing will overflow. If it's correct, it will overflow a bit. If you’re not comfortable with that, take it to a workshop. Messing with the sensor and wiring without diagnostic equipment could cause more problems.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I took it to a local workshop, and they said the oil level was low. They topped it off and replaced the transmission oil pressure sensor, since it was probably damaged. The bill was 365€. The SpaceTourer is running smoothly now!

Low oil level is a possible cause. Have you checked it? It could also be a faulty sensor, or a wiring issue. You need to check the fluid level before driving it much more.
