Fixed 5th gear engaged.
Use the Wiring Diagrams Technical Note, SCENIC II ph2.
Look for any damage to the harness and check the condition and connection of the transmission computer
connector and earths N* and MC3.
If the connection is faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair,
Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
Check the continuity of the following connections:
●Connection code N*, between components 119 and N*.
●Connection code 5LW between components 119 and MC3.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure (see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical
wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair), repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
If the fault is still present, contact the Techline.
AFTER REPAIRDeal with any other faults. Clear the fault memory.
Switch off the ignition, wait 1 minute and carry out a road test followed by another
check with the diagnostic tool.

GEAR LEVER POSITION
Note:
Status ET012 "Gear lever position" applies to the following sub-functions:
–"Gear changes".
–"Driver parameters".
STATUS
DEFINITIONP: shows that the gear lever is in position P.
R: shows that the gear lever is in position R.
N: shows that the gear lever is in position N.
D: shows that the gear lever is in position D.
M: shows that the gear lever is in position M.
NOTESSpecial notes:
Only perform these tests if the statuses do not correspond with the system
programming functions.
Conformity check with the engine stopped, ignition on or engine running.

Check that lever position P matches status ET012 "Gear lever position"; in the event
of a fault, consult the interpretation of fault DF067 "Lever switch circuit".
Check the condition of the cable, the setting (see MR 370 Mechanical, 37A, Automatic
gear controls, Adjustment) and the mountings connecting the lever to the
transmission.
Replace if necessary.
Check that lever position "R" matches status ET012 "Gear lever position"; in the event
of a fault, consult the interpretation of fault DF067 "Lever position switch circuit".
Check the condition of the cable, the setting (see MR 370 Mechanical, 37A, Automatic

●connection code 5H (sequential lever "M+" signal),
●connection code 5FM (sequential lever "M-" signal),
between components 119 and 129.
Check for + 12 V after ignition feed on connection AP4 of component 129.
Check for earth on connection N+ of component 129.
If the connection or connections are faulty and there is a repair procedure
(see Technical Note 6015A, Electrical wiring repair, Wiring: Precautions for repair),
repair the wiring, otherwise replace it.
