Good morning,
Sorry to hear about your troubles with your smarty.
Po500 code is a VSS Vehicle speed sensor code which usually is generated by a fault from the transmission “electrical” verses mechanical.
In the search bar above type in “Thee lines on dash” and you will come up with a mountain of information from others who have had this problem and fixed it.
From what I’m understanding it seems to be something to do with the clutch actuator, possibly a lose or corroded connection.
Paula

When we got the three bars, the car had driven fine the day before. Dealer said the shift motor failed and it was replaced. Back to normal.
