Note page 5/38 - go through the chart and make sure solenoid 2 is working. It is odd that the car drives normally - as #2 is needed "on" for 1st and 2nd gear.


Awesome, yes, its a AW50-42LE -- I'll start working through the doc. From what I can tell from the OBDII/VADIS reports SL1 is off, and ...

Hi all, I'm hoping there's a way out of this problem. Basically my 99 S70 started throwing transmission codes. Slowly but surely I worked through replacing the faulty solenoids, following this great tutorial: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=65527
