Trax Transmission Indicator and Check Engine Lights

My 2015 Chevrolet Trax with a gasoline engine has 169414 kilometers. The transmission indicator and check engine lights are on intermittently. The automatic transmission enters emergency mode, gear shifts become erratic, and the gearbox manifests slippage and grinding noises during gear changes. The error memory indicates a defective radiator oil pressure issue. Could a compromised cable or plug connection be the cause, or are there other diagnostic avenues I should explore?

Summary of the thread

A 2015 Chevrolet Trax exhibited intermittent transmission indicator and check engine lights, with symptoms including erratic gear shifts, slippage, and grinding noises. The error memory suggested a defective radiator oil pressure issue. The problem was traced to a compromised cable connection to the radiator oil pressure sensor, which was repaired, resolving the issue and restoring normal vehicle operation.

Sounds familiar. I had similar weirdness in my old Renault Megane. Was the cooling fan running constantly, even when the engine wasn't overheating? Might be a pressure sensor issue affecting the whole cooling system.

Could you elaborate on the specifics of the Renault Megane incident? Did the issue manifest with similar error codes, and did it relate to a compromised oil pressure sensor within the radiator system, or a more generalized cooling system malfunction?

Basically, yeah. Same error codes. Turned out to be a faulty sensor and a dodgy connection. A shop visit sorted it quickly. Probably best to get yours checked out.

I sought counsel from a trusted workshop, as recommended. The assessment confirmed a defective cable connection to the radiator oil pressure sensor, culminating in a repair cost of 95€. The issue is resolved; the vehicle is now operating normally.
