Welcome to the forum DCS

"New Member" is the place to introduce yourself and your car but as it says in capital letters, not a place to post technical questions.
Moved your post here so hopefully you will get some help.

Hmmm, often generic scanners will not pick up Volvo specific transmission codes. Do you ever get a flashing arrow while driving? Does the car drive if you shift it in 3 or L?

Did you have the problem with it slipping when hot before you did the flush ??

What method did you use to flush it and who did it ??

Are you checking the fluid level according to the Volvo instructions ??

yes the problem was there and it seemed it got worst after . it was actually a drain and fill not a flush . I did the drain and fill and all the checks . i am a technician but i have never really dealt with volvos besides routine maintenance
