C3 Picasso ETG 6G gearbox fault

Post by steenschalls »

In the family we have a C3 Picasso 2012 with a semi auto gearbox. Now and then we receive gearbox fault in the display. We have a fault code P0948, which says, relay stays in open position. The readout says, elec pump motor control fault. The motor is sitting on the oil pump which gives pressure to clutch and gearchange operation. Can anyone tell us where the relay is, or if it sits inside the motor?
