How to Fix a Stuck Gear on a Smart 451
Model: Smart Smart
451
- Years 2007-2015
In this video, we will see how to resolve the issue of a stuck gear on a Smart 451 (the famous three flashing dashes), where the vehicle remains stuck in neutral. The main cause is a plausibility error between the stop light switch and the brake pressure sensor. Reading the errors with the diagnostic tool, errors related to a flat battery are found, but the real issue is in the ABS. Through diagnostics, the values of the brake pressure sensor and the stop switch are checked; if pressing the brake causes the pressure sensor to rise but the stop switch does not signal "pressed", the ABS control unit does not give consent to engage the gears. The faulty switch is located under the engine bay, rear side. You will need to remove the lower protections and open the inspection door, and replace the faulty switch, then clear the residual errors with the diagnostic tool.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHow to Repair the Key Spring of the Peugeot 207?
Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism. by ScegliAuto More videos
