The wiring harness of a temperature sensor in the dsg may have connector wires that were insufficiently crimped by the connector supplier during a limited production period. With insufficiently crimped connector wires, a temperature sensor has the potential to falsely detect a high gearbox oil temperature, causing the clutch to open and can cause the driver to perceive that the transmission has shifted into neutral. If this happens, the selector lever position indicator within the instrument panel will flash. In addition, the depress brake pedal indicator light will be illuminated, alerting the driver to apply the brakes. In heavy traffic, this could lead to a crash without warning.
