What Can Cause It? First things first. Check all of the fuses. The smart gearbox relies on a lot of electronics to keep it working properly, it only takes one part to misbehave to call up an error code. Causes can be one or more of the following: Weak Battery Faulty Alternator Poor Earth Lead Wet AMT Gearbox Controller Car Dragged In Gear After A Crash Snapped Clutch Actuator Spiral Gear Corroded Clutch Actuator Connections Damaged Wiring Solder Joint Failure Blown Fuse Gear Change Motor Fault Transmission Fluid Problem Faulty SE Drive What OBD Error Codes Could Be Shown? More and more people have been buying generic code readers so here are the possible codes that you would see. P0700 P0701 P0702 P0703 P0704 P0705 P0706 P0707 P0708 P0709 P0710 P0711 P0712 P0713 P0714 P1800 P0886 U0402 Weak Battery It seems it is possible for the battery to be too weak to move the gear motor fully. As the gears attempt to move and fail, the error code is bought up. Charge the battery and try again. Faulty Alternator If the alternator isn’t working, the battery voltage will be low with the car running which is essentially the same root cause as having a weak battery. Start the car and check the voltage at the battery terminals with a multimeter. It should read about 14.4 volts. Thanks to Brian M for the nudge on this one.
