Transit transmission oil pressure sensor issue

Hmm, hadn't thought of that. I'll check the oil level tomorrow. But if the level is fine, is it safe to assume the sensor is faulty? I'm just trying to avoid replacing a sensor if the root cause is something else entirely. Don't want to swap parts like changing socks if you get my drift.

Okay, if the oil level checks out, then yeah, the sensor is a prime suspect. Still, these things can be tricky. It could be a wiring issue too, but honestly, if you're hearing grinding noises, and the sensor code is popping up, it's best to get it checked by a pro. Could save you a bigger headache (and bill) down the line. Better safe than sorry, eh?

Thanks for the advice! I checked the oil, and it was indeed low. Topped it up, but the problems persisted. Took it to a workshop. Turns out the sensor was faulty because of the low oil and had to be replaced. All in, cost me about 365€.

Sounds familiar! I had a similar scare with my Transit. Same symptoms, engine light, rough shifting. Before you panic, have you checked the gearbox oil level? A low oil level can mess with the pressure and trigger that sensor. It's like trying to run with not enough air in your tires – things get bumpy.
