Red faux leather gear knob - Smart Fortwo

When the gearbox forgets what it’s job is

Left the highway the other day, via the off-ramp, to mount the side rails, and close the soft-top.

When I reached the red lights, at the end the off-ramp, it seamed like the transmission didn’t change down from second gear to first, and the engine stalled.

It started up without any problems, and I had no issues on the rest of the trip..

I retrieved the error messages with an OBDII tester when I got home, and found this message:

Smart Fortwo OBDII Error message - U0103 Lost Communication with Gear Shift Module A
Smart Fortwo OBDII Error message – U0103 Lost Communication with Gear Shift Module A

It’s been a few weeks since this incident, and it hasn’t done anything like it since. It seems to have been some kind of random hiccup.
