Hi
I have this strange problem. with the transmission.(P0702 is displayed on my OBD)
The car won't start; once I put the key on 1 position the N is not displayed on the dash; It is Flashing N (1 second or so interval).
In this time I looked at the clutch actuator and it makes a click sound and move (left right about 2-3 mm, very slight move and then clicks and back again). It will do that all day long if I lave the key on "1" position. As the car cannot get into N, the car wont start.
I know from my other smart that when you put the key in the ignition and put it into "1" position the clutch actuator is extending and pushes the clutch fork
I first suspected that the clutch actuator is at fault, so I ordered a new one (second hand but told it is working). The exact same problem
I then suspected that the clutch form might be stuck so I checked that the fork can be moved (I used a screwdriver to push and it seem to be free)
I then suspected the wires that go to actuator, the gear motor, the gear sensor, etc. I pulled out the wiring loom and had a proper look at each wire. I could not find any wire that was damaged in any ways.
To make the matter more complicated and more interesting I noticed that once you disconnect the battery and reconnect it. the car starts properly, runs, changes the gears as it should, the clutch actuator is working up and down as normal, the gears are changed smoothly and all it seem is resolved
that until I stop the engine
once the engine is stopped, and try to put back the ignition into "1" it start again, flashing N, etc etc
but if I disconnect the battery again for a second, then starts again as there is no problem
I can now use the car as long as I disconnect he battery after each use
Any ideas will be appreciated as I am stuck and have no more logical answers or tests that I can carry out in order to solve for my problem
