Gear selector reduced function

dieselderv · Jul 19th, 2018, 05:57

Hi fellow volvoists after a 3 year gap I've brought a 2004 v70 auto d5 with 183,000 miles on the clock..its in fantastic condition, deep red paint and not a scratch..you may of seen it for sale on eBay located in Southwell Notts.
Any way it was listed with having the gear selector reduced function problem message on the cim..which with a bit of digging on here pulled up reference to gear selector module being duff,symptoms are the message and no lights near the gearstick and winter mode not functioning..I have selector lights and my winter mode button is working but I have the message and the annoying red triangle that won't go away ..I have a cheap obd11 reader that I will try to c,ear the codes with later today ..just wondering if anyone has seen this before I'm presuming that it's not a fault that's been fixed and just not cleared as it was part exd for this reason ,if the dealer is to be believed but he was a very nice bloke (delivered the car to me) and all his reviews for customer service and after care are brilliant..I doubt I will get that though as it was a spares or repairs part ex..many thanks will add pictures and start a project thread when I don't have the boy with me
