Hey, i have a 2003 model 406 with automatic transmission. Sometimes when i shift from P to D, i get a flashing light on the dash beside the R (on the graph shownig gears P R N D...) and the car behaves unnormally. In addition, when i shift from P to R, it takes about 2 seconds to engage the reverse.. I scanned the car with obd2 scanner but got no codes related to the transmission. Any help is appreciated

Hi welcome to the forum

I don’t know your particular question although on 2 automatic cars i have owned when the gears played up i found topping the auto oil up fixed the problem

Could the light you see be low transmission oil level

Sorry cant be more helpful :thumb:

Hi & welcome.

First things first: change the oil.

Peugeot say it's sealed for life but this is a vicious lie.

It's crucial to use the correct oil: Esso LT71141.

If that doesn't improve it then you're probably looking at a new set of solenoids (and ideally software update too) for the valve block.

The problem is that i bought this car with no user manual, and the informations about the car are not known for me (HDI, Al4 or zf4hp...). So i am working my way through VINs and stuff to know my car.. The following image contains some infos, the transmission type is not included, but as my friend reliable_406 said the transmission can be known from the engine type.. So here is some infos i found from my VIN. And, is there a way to know my transmission type myself?

Service Box

That will give you access to the Service Box, if you register as an "Independent Operator". You will get access to parts information, but repair procedures are pay-to-view.

I have it all on PC, plus the SEDRE (wiring information) from here. DO NOT click the blue rectangles - that leads to the expensive stuff. Scroll down and click any £9.99 offer - you will get the full databases for ALL the listed models.
