Technical Panda 1.2 2004 automatic problem

[BecksCro1]

Hello all I'm new here and need help.
I have an Panda 2004 with automatic gearbox and while I'm driving in auto mode it goes from gear 3 or 4 lets say (doesn't matter) to N(neutral) I have to stop and shut the engine and back on again. The other problem is when I start the car it's stuck in a gear or N, and I can't shift it to nothing else, when I connected the OBD it said fault code U1600, I erased the fault code and was able to shift again but it's happening again and I don't know what to do anymore..
Anybody knows what it could be?

Dobro jutro!
There are reports of brakelightswitches failing and groundproblems with the reversinglight.
I'd check that first. Also make sure there is enough hydraulic fluid in the reservoir.

PS I hope to be able to come to your marvelous country again this summer (Covid and all)

MultiECUscan, with the correct OBD adapter should be able to give more than simply reading the fault codes.

u1600 Key not recognised
is probably a red herring ?
