2018 Ford Transit Connect - Trans slip, but no code?

Trasnission slipping but no code repoted on onboard computer ? Whats going on here?

That’s surprising, you’d think the computer would flag a slipping transmission. hmm … one idea, double check the scan tool used to check for codes is able to read the transmission module.

Sounds like your transmission (that is very well known for issues) is slipping, I recommend taking it to a transmission shop after calling the dealer to make sure there is not some kind of extended warranty on your transmission…

The first thing I would check is the transmission fluid level and also see if it smells burnt or is not bright red. if you have a sealed dip stick you will need to go to the dealer to have them check it.
another thing it could be is a bad solenoid see below…

. Solenoid Problems

The solenoid controls the flow of fluid throughout the transmission. Many times, the solenoid can become damaged because of insufficient fluid levels or other electronic problems with the solenoid. Problems with the solenoid are usually similar to those of inadequate fluid levels or fluid leaks. If your 2018 Ford Transit Connect van’s transmission is slipping and there are no leaks, the solenoid is the next item that you should check.
