Any info on Gearbox malfunction message? Posted by Nick [Email] (#227) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Nick) on Mon, 24 Feb 2003 20:41:04 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My 3 week old (800 miles) 9-3SS had a glitch Saturday. Turned the key, car started, but the SID and Radio displays failed to operate. I then discovered the shift lever (auto trans) wouldn't come out of park - yes, I had the brake pedal pressed. I noticed the lights on the shifter area were not lit either. Other lights on car were working. So, I did what anyone with computer trouble does... a reboot. Turned off car, waited and restarted - everything lit up. SID went through it's checking mode and then displayed: "Gearbox Malfunction. Limited Performance. Notify Dealer". I drove it home with no problems. Drove it several times yesterday checking every gear with the manual mode and found it worked fine - just the message on the SID at every start up.
Today, no message at start up. Figures as I was going to drop by the dealer at lunch time. I remember reading posts that others had this problem (fred?). Any news on causes, solutions or severity of this problem?
Does the onboard computer record error messages that the dealer can download even when the message no longer appears on the SID? This way I don't get the dreaded "we can't duplicate the problem" response from the dealer...
Thanks,
Nick
