Problems with shifting and warning light on a 2019 Ford Ka: Suspected transmission oil temperature sensor fault

Hey, that doesn't sound good. I have a bit of experience with cars and maybe it could be that your transmission control unit is faulty. I had a similar problem with my 2017 Ford Fiesta, also a petrol engine. I then went to a garage around the corner. There they discovered that the transmission control unit was a mess and had to be replaced. The bill was pretty hefty, I had to pay 1000 euros. Can you perhaps give me some more information about your car? Model, age, mileage, etc.? Then I could try to help you even more.

Hi, thanks for the advice. My Ford Ka has already done 130742 km and the last service was at about 120000 km. The symptoms you describe sound similar, but I hope it won't be as expensive for me!

Hi, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, in my case it really was the transmission control unit. The high mileage on your car could also be an indication that your transmission control unit is faulty. Of course, I hope for your sake that it's not so extreme and that it's a bit cheaper. But it could also be that it's just a minor issue, such as the transmission oil temperature sensor, as you've already suspected. I would definitely recommend that you have it checked at a garage. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's nothing serious and that you don't have to dig so deep into your pockets. Let me know how it turns out. Stay healthy and have a good trip with your Ford Ka!
