Transmission Trouble Code 2B

I got a transmission trouble code '2B' on my 1996 850R using a Volvo FCR code reader.
I can't find the code anywhere, does anyone know what it means?

Thanks,

Brian

does the maker of that scan tool or whatever it is not supply some information about their non-standard fault codes?
Maybe reference info on their website?

Jimmy, thanks for the tip, I changed my search and found the following website:

http://www.actron.com/code_lookup.php

This site seems to be a good resource for looking up trouble codes.

This stated that the 96 850 transmission DTC "2B" indicates "Gear 4 Incorrect Gear Ratio".

I am assuming that the incorrect gear ratio means a faulty sensor?

Any other thoughts on what this might indicate?

Usually incorrect gear ratio is a bad solenoid, stuck valve in valve body, or a burnt friction lining or apply seal.
