Flashing orange arrow..
Help all,
I have had a gearbox problem with my 850 T5 (auto) before where it drops into safe mode due to a temperamental range sensor. This I have sorted before my resetting the gearbox ecu and avoiding using 3,2 & L settings on the box. However in spirited driving yesterday I used 3 & 2 to override the kick down and now I have a flashing gearbox arrow on the dashboard but it hasn't dropped into safe mode as it seems to be operating fine... any ideas what it's trying to tell me? Regards Jon |

sounds like the contacts inside the pnp switch which is housed on top of the gearbox are starting to break down.
its the quadrant shaped assembly that the shift cable is attached to. have a look here; http://volvospeed.com/Repair/pnpswitch.php |
