The shop has the specific Volvo scanning tool that can communicate with the TCM, they couldn’t find anything
What abscate asked!
Also...let them check ECU too for stored codes.
In rare cases TCM sends request to ECU to turn on CEL when specific codes are stored.

Anyone look at the ABS module? I thought you could also get this scenario if you have a bad PNP switch or the ABS module was ready to go kaput. This is of course assuming that I remember correctly, which may be a bad assumption.
On my '99 if the voltage isn't >=~12.5V it will eventually leave the car nothing but idling. The transmission will not engage. If I remember correctly both the transmission control module and the abs module can be scanned for their current B+ values.
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

Abs module can't affect functionality of transmission....but since it's '99 and modules are married with the car....lack of communication between modules can affect anything because of CAN network.
