Citroen C3 error appears on display

Car: Citroen C3
Variant: 1.4 SX 75 Auto
Model Year: 2002

Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights

A beep occurs as I am driving and what appears is a letter S with the icon of the air/cooler next to it. The icon is like the one of the aircondition which looks like a star. No error lamp lights on just this error. I read the handbook and there is nothing saying about this. Please help

you have a gearbox fault. Take it to a garage and have gearbox ecu read.

How do you know this? What relation does this icon have with the gearbox? And the error does not occur frequently. Just occassionally.

the icons are for sport 's' and the other is for snow. these normally appear when there is a fault with the gearbox.The symbols should also flash on the gearbox controls.

Thanks for the help. I took my car to a specialist for automatic transmission and run a diagnostic test using a LAUNCH X431 computer. These were the 3 codes that appeared:

1) Slip fault (clutch/brakes):Local - Intermittment fault
2) Vehicle speed from ABS (CAN) fault:Distant - Intermittment fault
3) Sequence solenoid 1 fault (EVS1) fault:Local - Permanent fault

Could you please interpret these for me? Would it cost me a lot to fix these problems? Are they too serious?
