Where are you from? The car will automatically go back into S-mode every time you start it, even if you were in M-mode before. It will stay in C-mode when you restart it if that was the last setting also. Is that what's happening?

No, not after every restart but during driving the car.
By driving for example 60 mph I switched from c-mode to m-mode after a few seconds the transmission switched automaticly to s-mode.

Your car thinks you don't know how to drive in M, so it is saving itself.

Thanks!

I remember that the oil sensor indicates temperatures about 400 degrees. I know the sensor is damaged.

This will caused the problem!???
