How to replace the sensodrive automatic transmission button of the Citroen C3

Model: Citroen C3 SY, SX - Years 2016-2023
Part: Transmission

One of the main causes of the malfunction of the Citroen C3's sensodrive gearbox is the breaking of the internal button. In case of breakage, the solution is to replace the switch. We get into the car to lift the plastic at the base of the gearbox using plastic removal tools. After lifting the base, we disconnect the connector and remove the switch to proceed with the replacement. We push the button into its seat and connect the connector. We turn on the dashboard to check if the automatic gearbox is working correctly, if it is working we mount the gearbox base, if it is not working it is necessary to go to the workshop to perform a diagnosis with a scanner.
