db9 paddle shift

[fuzzy01]

Hi, my DB9 suddenly went from paddle shift to auto and flashed the following message...paddle shift temporally disengaged. Switched car off and back on and alls fine again. Any ideas please as I was going into roundabout quickly using the engine braking when this happened and its a little unnerving when you suddenly lose it. Thanks

Hi,

You would have more luck posting this in the Aston Martin portion of the forum. Just scroll down on the main forum page to find it. Other owners should be able to help you troubleshoot it.

Happened only once on my 2006 DB9 (first week of ownership ). Crawling in start/stop traffic, using paddles to hold 1st or 2nd gear. Same message as yours, cleared at the next restart, not seen again in 18 months and I use the paddles 99.9% of the time.

Hi Mike,

I've done it on mine when I've pulled the wrong paddle and tried to change into first rather than third. Just turn off and on again and it will be fine.

Thanks for your replies, I appreciate you taking the time to answer. I didn't like the sensation of barrelling into a roundabout and losing the engine braking, I was thinking of a track day or two...not sure now after this happening. Thanks again

Does anyone know why this happens and if so what cures the problem. Thanks
