Yesterday I had three error codes come up (attached) any ideas? More importantly when it goes into limp mode obviously it limited a the speed etc etc but is it usual for the auto geers to slip?? Is that the limp mode working or is my gearbox power shift gone??

I have included the codes for you. Would the power shift throw up codes if it’s gone? All the codes seem similar problems

    Do the battery thing, clear the (all pending) codes and see what sticks (if anything)?

    Again, AFAIK  Powershift gears don't slip (but of course, clutch slip is possible) - I would expect some codes?

    Lets not have a Powershift (is it that or a standard torque converter on 2017?) auto catastrophe without some pretty serious evidence.

But it seems to have cleared
