Smart - Video tutorial

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Gearbox
Operation: Problem with the gearbox of the Smart 450 solved by replacing the cables

Let's see the classic problem of the Smart 450 which have the three lines on the dashboard, an unequivocal sign that there are problems with the gearbox, in fact the car does not start. The youtuber replaced the gearbox actuator, then the clutch but with no significant effect. With great patience he then checked all the electrical pins and found some oxidized ones, the very ones that controlled the gearbox of the ECU. By consulting the ECU errors (obviously with an OBD reader, a very useful device for DIY enthusiasts) he was then able to read the ECU errors and discovered that there were broken and unsoldered cables, which must be replaced.
