Gearbox management system  
Gear selector movement sensors  
1 to 4, G487 to G490  
The gear selector movement sensors are located  
in the mechatronic unit.  
On combination with the solenoids on the selector  
forks, they generate a signal, from which the control  
unit recognises the precise position of the gear  
selectors.

Signal use  
Effects of signal failure  
The control unit requires the precise position of the  
gear selectors to control the gear selectors for  
changing gears.  
If a movement sensor fails, the control unit cannot  
detect the position of the corresponding gear selector.  
As a result, the control unit is unable to recognise  
whether or not a gear is changed via the gear  
selector and the selector fork.  
To prevent damage to the gearbox, the gearbox path  
of the movement sensor which has failed is shut off in  
this case.
