Citroen C5 automatic transmission fault

Unread post by Ben C5 »

One fault message appeared while checking my Citroen C5 at a mechanic.
The fault is U1213 - Permanent fault - Vehicle speed information incorrect value received
The mechanic told me it's a sensor fault.
Can anyone let me know what is the part number of this sensor, where can I order it online?
It's for Citroen C5 2012 2.2 HDI

It's better to remove the error first and check if it stays off.
Sometimes it happens once, but it stays as long It's not cleared.

Is this a 4 speed or 6 speed automatic transmission? Do you know the transmission model number?

It's 6 speed.
I don't know the transmission model number, I don't know where to look for it.

If it is a 6 speed then it will be what PSA call AM6 by Asin Warner. The same transmission was used by other manufacturers using different names such as TF80-T.
You should be able to find more information by searching with those model numbers.

I see at the picture, that this diagnose is not done with the diagbox.
Before you get a headache about this fault, try to find someone with a diagbox.

Here are the symptoms of this fault code from Citroën!
Also as you google on "Citroën error 1213" also point in the direction of an abs sensor.
