Lateral stroke center, center drifting to left
Workshop test: Test different positions in the gearbox maneuvering. Does the problem persist? If yes, inspect that the gearbox control unit is well-assembled. Also inspect the lateral stroke maneuvering using [Method 1]. If no, was the error code active multiple times and/or did the driver experience problems? If yes, inspect the lateral stroke maneuvering using [Method 1]. If the driver did not experience problems, no further action. ----------------------------- Method 1: Inspect air supply and solenoid valve for the relevant maneuvering. Are all the hoses undamaged and is it possible to hear the valve opening/closing when a gear shift is made. Can you hear a leakage when the solenoid valve is not used? Check the cabling and connectors for the relevant position sensor and valve unit for mechanical play, cracked insulation, moisture intrusion in the connector or damaged cabling. Inspect the valve unit internally for moisture intrusion and corrosion on connectors. Inspect that sealings and air pressure cylinder are undamaged and well greased. If applicable, check oil in dampers. Is the oil at correct level? Does the oil have the typical red colour or did water or gearbox oil permeate into the damper oil, causing discolour to the damper oil. Check the rest of the maneuvering unit shafts, levers, springs, dampers etc for damaged articles or distinct scuff marks.
What you'll see
No driver-visible symptom recorded.
System reaction
A faulty gear could be engaged since the system expects lateral stroke position to be center. Although, it has drifted to the left position.
Diagnostic depth
Centre lateral stroke desired and no valves are active. The position drifted too close to lateral stroke left for more than 1 second.
The springs that are supposed to keep the lateral stroke in the center position is damaged or sticks.
