3360196 - C22 THE GEARBOX IS STUCK'

The vehicle remains with the gearbox stuck in neutralSome gears can be engaged and then the vehicle is stuckThe gearbox jams after it is attempted to engage reverse gearPreliminary check: It is advisable to carry out a preliminary check on the battery voltage
Results of the tests
0OIL LEVEL CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the oil level See Test   2127B  OIL LEVEL CHECK Continue to Step 2Level below Max referenceTop up the oil levelContinue to Step 1
Level above Max referenceReduce to Max levelContinue to Step 2
1CHECK FOR OIL LEAKSAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that there are no oil leaks See Test   2127C  CHECK FOR FLUID LEAKS Continue to Step 2Oil leaks detectedReplace/repair the parts concerned, top up the oil levelContinue to Step 1
2OIL PRESSURE CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the oil pressure See Test   2127D  OIL PRESSURE CHECK Continue to Step 4Pressure < 40 barContinue to Step 3
3CHECK THE PUMP OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the pump is working properly See Test   2127E  ELECTRIC PUMP OPERATION CHECK Continue to Step 4Voltage below 11 VCheck the batteryContinue to Step 3
It is not possible to make gear changes from the leverActivate the 'clutch bleed' service from the Examiner Plus or Smart to activate the pumpContinue to Step 3
4CHECK ON BRAKE PEDAL SWITCHAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the operation of the brake pedal switch See Test   2127F  CHECK ON BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH Continue to Step 6The brake pedal switch is not working properlyCheck the state of the connections, the wiring and the switch. Repair/replace the part that is not working.Continue to Step 5
5AFTER THE CHECK ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCHAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisThe fault persistsContinue to Step 6
6CONTROL UNIT ERRORS CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation

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

  • Clutch sensor error
  • Control unit faulty error (microprocessor)
  • 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 9Presence of one or more of the errors included in the list Continue to Step 7
7CHECKS ON FAULTS DETECTEDAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the faults See Test   2127I  What to do depending on the error' present in the Selespeed control unit No accelerator pedal information. End of diagnosisFaulty connections (Clutch sensor, Odd or even gear engagement, Clutch solenoid Current, Electromagnetic brake and/or Engagement sensor)Repair/replace the wiringContinue to Step 8
There are no faulty connections (Clutch sensor)Replace the clutch actuator (CSC) and check its operation by carrying out a gear change.Continue to Step 8
The test is not successful (Odd or even gear engagement)Replace the solenoid valve Op.   2127C52  Continue to Step 8
There are no faulty connections (Clutch solenoid current)Replace the solenoid valve Op.   2127C56  and check its operation by carrying out a gear change.Continue to Step 8
The test is not successful (Electromagnetic brake)Replace the solenoid valve Op.   2127C54  Continue to Step 8
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 8
8AFTER THE CHECKS ON THE FAULTS DETECTEDAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisThe fault persistsContinue to Step 9
9CHECK 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 attention 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 11A fault is detectedRepair/replace the part that is not workingContinue to Step 10
10CHECK 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 (as stated in Step 8); it is therefore advisable not to refit the battery cage
End of diagnosisThe fault persistsContinue to Step 11
11SELF 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 14The self-calibration is not successfulContinue to Step 12
12SELF-CALIBRATION REPETITIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Carry out a second self-calibration and make sure that the result is successfulContinue to Step 14The self-calibration is not successfulThe causes could be: battery voltage, oil pressure/oil level, clutch mechanism problems and mechanical problems on the engagement/selection valves; out of these cases only the last one has not been taken into consideration by the points prior to this chart. It is advisable to focus attention on the engagement/selection solenoid valves Replace the even gear engagement, odd gear engagement Op.   2127C52  and selection solenoids. Continue to Step 13
13NEW 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 successfulContinue to Step 14
14CHECK THAT THE FAULT IS NO LONGER PRESENTAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisThe fault persistsContact Technical Service for further information on the problem
