Titan transmission indicator light issue

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2010 Nissan Titan (gas engine). The transmission indicator light and check engine light keep popping on. It's like the transmission goes into emergency mode – doesn't shift right, slips, and makes some nasty grinding noises sometimes. Plus, the error memory has something stored. I'm thinking it might be a radiator oil pressure thing. Anyone else seen this?

Summary of the thread

A 2010 Nissan Titan experienced issues with the transmission indicator and check engine lights, along with shifting problems, slippage, and grinding noises. The suspected cause was a radiator oil pressure issue. It was suggested to inspect the cable and plug connections to the pressure sensor. Upon professional diagnosis, a defective cable connection to the pressure sensor was identified and replaced, resolving the issue.

Greetings. Based on the symptoms you have described, specifically the transmission indicator light, check engine light activation, emergency mode engagement, shift abnormalities, slippage, unusual noises, and error codes, the hypothesis regarding a radiator oil pressure issue warrants further investigation. Before proceeding with component replacement, it is advisable to conduct a thorough examination of the cable and plug connections associated with the pressure sensor. Are you experiencing any coolant loss or visible leaks around the radiator or transmission lines?

Coolant levels seem normal, and I haven't spotted any obvious leaks. You mentioned checking the cable and plug connections to the pressure sensor...where exactly is that located on the Titan?

Given the absence of apparent coolant loss and visible leaks, the focus on cable and plug connections is further justified. While I cannot provide a pinpoint location without specific diagrams, the pressure sensor is generally situated either directly on the radiator or integrated within the transmission lines connected to it. Considering the reported symptoms and the high probability of a cable or connection fault, a professional diagnostic assessment is strongly recommended to avoid potential consequential damage.

Thanks for the advice! Ended up taking it to the shop. You were spot on – it was a defective cable connection to the pressure sensor. They replaced it, cleared the codes, and it's shifting smooth as butter now. Cost me 95€ Appreciate the help!
