SpaceTourer Transmission Oil Pressure Sensor Fault

Hi, I'm having trouble with my 2022 Citroen SpaceTourer diesel. It has 228903 km on it. The engine warning light is on, and the error memory says there's a problem with the transmission oil pressure sensor. The gearbox has gone into emergency mode a few times. The gears are slipping and shifting roughly, with grinding noises. I think the gearbox oil level might be low. Has anyone else had this happen, and how did you fix it? I'm worried because it’s a fairly new car.

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.

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!
