Thread: Gearbox error message

Goes into limp mode to protect gearbox.
Usally a sign of low oil pressure or overheating; were you towing ?
Could also be a sign of moisture in the connections, especially after the storm last night. Low battery voltage can also cause the message !
Do you have all gears ? if you do; check gearbox electrical plugs etc for moisture. Keep and eye on it if it comes up again try the gearbox re-set listed a few pages back , but if you still loose gears take it straight back to the rebuilder for checking.

I get that message sometimes if I am in a hurry and let the key turn off whilst the motor is cranking but before it fires. I only have half a thumb on left hand and occasionally it slips off the key. I just switch it completely off and restart normally with no further message. Jim

That could be it, I also had all the doors open and the radio on for about 3 hrs while I was packing...maybe a voltage drop, as I simply turned the vehicle off then restarted, problem solved.

Tim,
I think you had better start a conversion sheet, with three columns, 1 with error message, and 2nd with what it may mean, and 3rd with what you did to stop it!
Could be useful for anyone who is thinking of buying a similar vehicle!!!!
