2016 Scion IA (Mazda 2 with Scion badge)
40k miles AT (automatic transmissions)
Engine and AT dash lights on.
Scan and got code P0847.
Came out of nowhere... Unbelievable
The simplest thing is to ask what the fluid level is? If it's low, that would trigger the code. If it's the pressure sensor or a wiring issue, that might also be cost effective.
The diagnosis should always begin with the most accessible, and least expense, options.
@geriscan, thanks for taking your time to comment. I checked the fluid level and it is full, clean, and doesn't smell burnt. As for wiring, I don't not see any issues. Would need a expert to take a look at that..
Is the car still under any powertrain warranty?
If not, have it looked at by a professional who specialises in transmissions -

Are you the original owner? Was this car ever wrecked/flooded?
@inthrustwetrust, That's for taking your time to comment.. out of warranty and original owner. No wrecks...
@scottykilmer or any others.. any thoughts on situation?
Well this vehicle has a Mazda transmission, doesn’t it? Does @dan have experience with this SkyActiv-Drive transmission? I see a few complaints regarding the transmission in your vehicle - https://www.scioniaforum.com/threads/transmission-failure.3642/
@inthrustwetrust. Yes this vehicle has everything made by Mazda. Only thing relating to Scion/Toyota are the badges and the Toyota design grill. I been on that form and I do see a hand full of people mentioning issues with their AT. For me I don't have any of the symptoms.
Just AT and Engine lights triggered. Which put the car in limp mode. I disconnected the battery and car drives normally, just lights still triggered and code still present.
If the connector & related wiring to that sensor is good, it might probably need a new sensor/switch. Something which a transmission expert should be able to diagnose.
