How long had the car been off..?? 12.6 is a fully charged battery, I bet this is dropping overnight, as you turn on the ignition, the gearbox ECU reads the voltage as low and chucks the fault up.... ?? Pete

Probably the battery then, it's certainly the cheapest thing to try first anyway... Pete

Exactly, process of elimination. Cheapest thing first. |

even cheaper is a system discharge / battery reset.

I was getting similar readings to that, but as Haylands says it's probably losing some power overnight, and once they get weak and you turn the key its game over as the voltage drops right down. |

How do you do the system reset and discharge? |

It's in the WIKI, just a battery disconnection procedure, worth a try but don't hold your breath...! Pete

I think I've tried that. Taking battery leads off, then touching them together? |

Just got old battery out. There was a label on the breather pipe on old battery dated 18/11/2010 |

Also I checked new battery charge percentage it was 70%. After I fitted it, I did the battery replacement on diagnostic tool. After that I put charger back on and it was 50%. Getting a replacement tomorrow to see if its the new battery. |

Interesting - I would have expected a displayed gearbox fault message to have logged at least one DTC indicating as to why it was showing you the message - what did you read the codes with? |
