Hi guys,
Got a code P0705, while putting car in parking. The flashing arrow and check engine light is also on.
Could you please give an insight what is it.
Thank's

The code you gave is:
Code Make Description
P0705 Generic Transmission Range Sensor Circuit (PRNDL Input)
The Make=Generic means this code applies to other makes of vehicles also (Not a Volvo specific code)
Read this:

Sounds like your transmission switch has gone bad (the dreaded "flashing arrow"). Of course, check the wiring and connections
first...

You can usually buy some time by "rowing" the shifter lever quickly from park to first about 20 or so times. It sorta cleans the contacts.

Thank's guys,

So, it is what I thought : The PNP switch. It is actually not that bad yet . If you drive 5-10 km it does not have any problems.
But anyhow, I feel like I am gonna have to change soon it anyway.
Could you please advise me where can I get the new PNP switch.
I did not see it on FCP Groton.

Thank's
