2751011 - C22 THE GEARBOX IS STUCK'

The vehicle remains with the gearbox stuck in neutral Some gears can be engaged and then the vehicle is stuck The gearbox jams after it is attempted to engage reverse gear Preliminary check: It is advisable to carry out a preliminary check on the battery voltage
Results of the tests
0CONTROL UNIT ERRORS CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation

Check that there are no control unit errors. In particular:

  • Clutch sensor error
  • Microprocessor 2 error
  • Even gear engagement error
  • Odd gear engagement error
  • Clutch solenoid current error
  • Electromagnetic brake error (Selection solenoid)
  • Engagement sensor error (keeps the gearbox in neutral only if the engine is off)
Continue to Step 5Presence of one or more of the errors included in the list Continue to Step 1
1CHECKS ON FAULTS DETECTEDAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the faults according to the See Test   2127I  What to do for error in Selespeed control unit Continue to Step 3Faulty connections (Clutch sensor, Odd or even gear engagement, Clutch solenoid current, Electromagnetic brake error) Repair/replace the wiringContinue to Step 3
Replace the Robotized Gearbox control unit (Microprocessor error 2) Continue to Step 3
The active diagnosis for the solenoid valve is not successful and no faults are detected at the wiring (Odd or even gear engagement and/or Clutch solenoid valve current) Continue to Step 2
There are no faulty connections (Engagement sensor) Replace the engagement potentiometer and check the correct reading of the position by carrying out a series of gear changes.Continue to Step 3
2AFTER THE SOLENOID VALVE ACTIVE DIAGNOSISAll OKProblems metOperation
If this step has been reached for the active diagnosis of the clutch solenoid valve, replace it Op.   2127C56  and check the operation by carrying out a C.M.If this step has been reached for the active diagnosis of the engagement solenoid valve, replace it Op.   2127C52  and check the operationContinue to Step 3.
3SENSOR/SOLENOID REPLACEMENTAll OKProblems metOperation
If there is an electromagnetic brake error and no faults are detected at the connections/wiring, replace Op.   2127C54  and check brake operationIf there is a gear engagement sensor error and no faults are detected at the connections/wiring, replace it Op.   2127E42  and check that the position reading is correct by carrying out a series of C.M.Continue to Step 4.
4AFTER THE CHECKS ON THE FAULTS DETECTEDAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisThe fault persists Continue to Step 5
5CHECK ON BRAKE PEDAL SWITCHAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the brake pedal switch is working properly as described in See Test   2127F  CHECK ON BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH Continue to Step 7The brake pedal switch is not working properly Check the state of the connections, the wiring and the switch. Repair/replace the part that is not working Move on toStep 6
6AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisThe fault persists Continue to Step 7
7OIL LEVEL CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the oil level as described in See Test   2127B  OIL LEVEL CHECK Continue to Step 9Level below the Max reference Top up the oil levelContinue to Step 8
Level above the Max reference Reduce to the Max levelContinue to Step 9
8CHECK FOR OIL LEAKSAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that there are no oil leaks as described in See Test   2127C  CHECK FOR OIL LEAKS Continue to Step 9OIl leaks detected Replace/repair the parts concerned, and top up the oil levelContinue to Step 8
9OIL PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the oil pressure as described in See Test   2127D  OIL PRESSURE CHECK Continue to Step 11Pressure < 40 bar Continue to Step 10
10ELECTRIC PUMP OPERATION CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the correct operation of the pump as described in See Test   2127E  ELECTRIC PUMP OPERATION CHECK Continue to Step 11Voltage below 11 V Check the batteryContinue to Step 10
It is not possible to make gear changes from the lever Activate the 'clutch bleed' service from the Examiner Plus or Smart to activate the pumpContinue to Step 11
11CHECK THE LAYOUT OF THE CLUTCH SENSOR WIRINGAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the state of the connections, continuity of the wiring (it is important to pay particular to the layout of the clutch position sensor wiring in the engine compartment: the wire must not be too taut, and it must have sufficient slack)
Continue to Step 13There is a fault Repair/replace the part that is not workingContinue to Step 12
12CHECK THAT THE FAULT IS NO LONGER PRESENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer present
To check that the fault is no longer present, the battery cage need not be refitted If the problem persists, the next intervention could involve the solenoid valves; it is therefore advisable not to refit the battery cage
End of diagnosisThe fault persists Continue to Step 13
13SELF CALIBRATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
With the Examiner Plus or Smart, in active diagnosis, start end of Service line self-diagnosis and make sure that the result is successfulContinue to Step 15The self-calibration is not successful the first time Continue to Step 13
The self-calibration is not successful the second time Replace the even gear engagement, odd gear engagement Op.   2127C52  and selection solenoids Op.   2127C54  .Continue to Step 14
14NEW SELF-CALIBRATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
After replacing the solenoids with the Examiner Plus or Smart, carry out a new end-of-line/Service self-calibration procedure and make sure that the result is positiveEnd of diagnosisThe self-calibration is not successful Contact Technical Service for further information on the problem
