XC60 transmission emergency mode

My 2017 Volvo XC60 hybrid with 145288 km has the transmission indicator and check engine lights on. The automatic transmission is in emergency mode, shifting poorly with slippage and grinding. There's an error stored. Could a defective radiator oil pressure cause this?

Sounds like a headache. Has the car been overheating or have you noticed coolant leaks? Check the radiator coolant level. Could be a pressure sensor issue, but I'm no expert. Have you checked the cable or plug connection?

Thanks. I'll check the coolant level. Where should I inspect the cable or plug connection first, considering the radiator oil pressure issue?

It's tricky without diagnostics. Given the symptoms and error codes pointing to the radiator oil pressure, start by checking the connections around the radiator and transmission. But to avoid further damage, wouldn't it be best to consult a workshop to pinpoint the exact cause?

Thanks for the advice. I checked the connections but found nothing obvious. I took it to a workshop. It was a defective cable connection to the pressure sensor, costing 95€ to repair.
