Correction-I meant to say S2 solenoid in my last post-not S1. (I correctly referenced S2 in all my previous posts.) S2 is what I replaced. Code 2-2-2 reflects the S2 solenoid not S1.
Sorry for any confusion.
PNP switch, solenoid 2, flashing arrow, limp mode-'94 850
Was just curious as to how expensive the parts were for this project I own a 1998 v olvo S90 and was told my model is rare and the parts are hard to find ... I've debated junking the car but can't seem to part with it for such a stupid problem that is fixable mine is also stuck in limp mode 2nd gear I believe sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't which makes me wonder if its just stuck and transmission fluid needs a change.. please let me know what you think thank you

mike850. Thank You! It is encouraging to hear that these things can be fixed by mere mortals. Good Job!

I need some help here guys. I have a 96 850 Volvo.
Car would drive fine, then one day have a flashing arrow. Car went into limp mode. Rowed the shifter and went away. Car ran fine for about a month. Soon then the arrow came back on. Then the car would go into limp mode and would go into neutral. The car would not catch any gear nor reverse. So I parked the car. Order pnp switch, replaced it and still no luck.
Now the car is parked in my garage. You car start the car and reverse and drive work fine for about 3 minutes. Once the car warms up, is goes into to neutral again. But you can turn the car off for abiut a min or two and turn back on and wi work fine for another minute or two, the go into the neutral. When it does catch the gear, slips a bit and then engages. So having this yku would think its solenoid getting stuck or something ....so i went and gor a top of the line scanner to scan all the modules and no codes.
Change the fluids and had a bunch of gunk on the drain plug. Oil was a dark brown. So now debating on maybe solenoid? Or something else. ....have no idea. I've been reading this thread for about a week or two. Need some help here....thanks
