Flashing Trans Light
Hello Folks,
I'm getting to my witts end with this poor Volvo I rescued from my girlfriends mom. She brought it to an independent shop that said it needed a transmission, they put one in and it had the same problems. Here are the symptoms:
I'm at a loss, any ideas (big or small) are appreciated. Thanks Video: Transmission Light on Volvo 1999 S70. - YouTube Links to prior threads: http://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/for...hp?f=1&t=56702 Swedespeed Forums - Flashing Trans Light |
Did some more diag work yesterday. Realized if I start the car in "L", it feels like it is starting in a slightly lower gear (it has more power/don't have to rev as high to move). Also, while in gear the engine will not rev past 2200RPM's.

Sounds like it's in "Limp Home Mode". Maybe the tranny computer is bad. Does that car have the "E-S-W" buttons near the shifter?
|
Thanks for the reply rspi.
It only has a winter button, not the ESW buttons. I've also tried replacing the switch with a known good one; no luck. My boss said he's never seen a trans light flash like that and not be accompanied by a Pxxxx ECM code; and according to my research it's very uncommon. Tom |
Any ideas on this one? Is there a way to manually check trans pressure?
|
Well, my trans had a internal problem that caused my car to flash the up arrow. It was causing the CEL to light and did give me codes, something like p0750 and some other code as well. I use to reset it while I was driving, drove the car like that for months. I believe it was starting in 2nd gear.

Thanks for the reply, it's so strange it sets no CEL codes.
