Hi All
After 2 years nearly and 6,000 miles I have just picked up a cog warning error on the dash. I pulled the error logs from the Engine ECU, no errors on the SMG. The battery has just been replaced, as if coughed its last breath, ironically just after the cog had come up, so the "Failed connection@ may have been wing to the battery. 17 SMG switching process Error frequency : 1 Logistic counter: 40 Engine speed 1240.00 rpm relative filling 48.00 % Transmition status 1.00 - DME-status 2.00 - aufgetreten vor (rel. BZ) 0.40 h 0100 - Broken wire / Value missing Error not present Sporadic error ------------------------------------------------------------- 6 Time out SMG-CAN Error frequency : 1 Logistic counter: 40 Engine speed 0.00 rpm relative filling 0.00 % Cooling water temp. 18.00 degrees C Supplier voltage HR 10.10 V aufgetreten vor (rel. BZ) 0.00 h 0100 - Broken wire / Value missing Error not present Sporadic error ================================================== =========== So question is would the cog have been as of the above, or would this have through an engine light error, and the cog is owing to something SMG Related, such as the famous Salmon Relay. I had the smg pump pressure looked at and its seems fine, running @ 60% and it primes ok etc. Car drives fine and moves through gears, the error came on after sitting at a show all day, having locked and unlocked a few times, to the point the battery was very low. any thoughts would be appreciated. cheers J.

Does the gear indicator number on the dash flash? Every single time I've had the cog appear, I get flashing gears and it's always been the front left bonnet switch.

Mine has been coming on in the race car with "Sporadic" errors. I've just been resetting it between sessions.
I think heat could be an issue with mine. |

So Diag software reports 2 erorrs on SMG.
37 shift path (gear) position sensor evaluation. 36 selector angle (WW) position sensor evaluation Can clear cog, and then error comes straight back as does the cog. Funny thing is the error will not clear, but when I look at the live status of the SMG, the angle sensor and shift path (gear) position sensor seem fine and are operating as I would expect (being no expert) cheers in advance any thoughts please ;0) Full errors: 37 shift path (gear) position sensor evaluation Error frequency : 1 Error occured 1. times at: current kilometres 181760.00 km environmental temperature 12.00 Grad C voltage supply Ubatt 12.03 V actual gear 1.00 1st gear Raw value of gear position 1 1023.00 Ink Raw value of gear position 2 401.00 Ink actual shift path 802.00 Ink not relevant 554.00 - sensor voltage supply A 5.01 V sensor voltage supply B 4.98 V Error occured 2. times at: current kilometres 0.00 km environmental temperature -48.00 Grad C voltage supply Ubatt 0.00 V actual gear 0.00 0/neutral Raw value of gear position 1 0.00 Ink Raw value of gear position 2 0.00 Ink actual shift path 0.00 Ink not relevant 0.00 - sensor voltage supply A 0.00 V sensor voltage supply B 0.00 V Error occured 3. times at: current kilometres 0.00 km environmental temperature -48.00 Grad C voltage supply Ubatt 0.00 V actual gear 0.00 0/neutral Raw value of gear position 1 0.00 Ink Raw value of gear position 2 0.00 Ink actual shift path 0.00 Ink not relevant 0.00 - sensor voltage supply A 0.00 V sensor voltage supply B 0.00 V control unit specific msg.

I had a flashing gear light this weekend followed by the cog, which got me reading up on all things SMG.
This link may be of use: http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=105898. Post number 11 in particular seems very useful in diagnosing what SMG particular issue one may have. HTH |
