Technical Check transmission red warning light

[Sjimlee24]

Hi all new to the forum, don’t know if I’m doing this right?! If anyone does see this…. Well, last night driving back from fireworks display a red “check transmission appeared” only owned the car a month never had any problems apart from this, it’s a 65plate 500L popstar multijet semi automatic. So I instantly pulled over and turned off the ignition. Turned it back on to still find the message but the car got us back home with no other issues it drove as normal etc. so this morning I’ve turned on the ignition and it just keeps knocking itself into Neutral. I have checked the transmission fluid it looks full does have a orangey/brown colour don’t know if this is normal, as I know nothing about cars! Any help would be much appreciated.

What garage is this..? Village garage..???

The issue is unlikely to be the GEARBOX..

The ROBOT that works the clutch and gearchanges is normally the problem

As I said
Alfaspecialists know all this...

Including checking the BrakeLights Work ...as that is crucial

Hey, transmission warning light came on for my Fiat 500X automatic, as I was about to start driving after stopping at red light and then instructions showed: Switch to neutral and then forward and reverse.

Switched engine off and did that, light was still on but at least car was moving in first gear. Stopped again, tried in 30 min, light was off and car was driving as normal.

Saw your comment about break light, I had a bulb gone couple weeks ago in my rear break lights, melted in a socket. I wonder why working break lights are important for the gearbox robot?

Also my outdoor temperature sensor has been showing higher temperature than it actually is in the past three weeks. Haven’t had a chance to fix it yet, maybe that is affecting something?

Bringing to the mechanic next week, hopefully he can figure it out.
