Good morning sir,

In order for this great community to assist you in this half arsed attempt at seeking information on something that you are not well rehearsed in then we will require a little bit more information on what you require.

[gtr jet]

In other words, what are you on about mate?

It's the big round thing under the steering wheel to the right...... You put the pointy thing that came with your car in it and turn and It makes the car manual for you to control.... Amazing stuff really. Technology these days just blows my Mind! BOOM[emoji378][emoji95]

Plugged in the consult II 1 error code "Manual mode switch" this will not clear at all

The manual shift worked fine before I pulled the engine and fully stripped and rebuilt it. Left the box in the car and only unplug from the engine, leaving all harness's wires plugs where/next to final place been.

Reason for not pulling box out with engine was space plus subframe was easy to clean off with the CV grease ect covered all over it.

Is this the switch

Cheers Lee

Is this said manual mode switch ?

[KiwiRS4T]

I don't know about a manual mode switch. Was your car a converted auto or always a manual? If it was a converted auto there is a bit in the DIY section on manual conversions which tells you which fuses/terminals under the battery you have to short out to allow the engine to assume that the g/box is in neutral so it can start.

A quick search suggests your pic is of the auto g/box ecu

as far as i knew, auto ecus work fine but you need to trick the "park switch" and some other switch into beleive its always in gear.

Like so

The plug at the top has been looped to complete the inhibitor switch circuit so the car believes it is in Park

Lack of info still, it's a S2 Stagea still auto. Everything auto work fine. Triptronic ( manual mode ) doesn't work.

Consult only has 1 fault which will not clear. The fault is

Manual mode switch

[Stealth400]

Is the manual mode switch in the stick shift or a independent box. Looked around the stick shift the micro switches for up and down seem fine but can not see anything else.

[Stealth400]

Bottom right where is this ?

[Stealth400]

Can any point me in the direction where the green high lighted box is located please. This is the manual mode switch.

Cheers Lee

I've never worked on an C34 but I'd say under the centre console. It looks like a logic control unit so it'll be looking for the position between the gear selector and then opening the circuit to the steering and stick shift switches and sending that back onto to the tranny control unit. They're often hidden in and around the centre consoles on other cars. I'd say given the simplicity of it's function, if it was all good then dead after install, you've probably accidentally loosened a connector.

Doh I'm asking Questions and I have found them all ready. Just need to shrink myself and have a check over it. It's up under the steering column.

Ok finally got to the bottom of my issue. The manual mode switch is and in the stick shift its self. Top and bottom is swap the shifter and hay presto all functions working.
