PNP Switch questions...

2001 S40...130K...My CEL went on...had it checked for codes...700/705...PNP switch. He turned off the CEL, I drove it about 50 miles and it returned. I ordered the new part. Had the CEL turned off...it's been about 100+ miles, the CEL has not returned !!! Do I change the PNP, or assume that the unit is working fine? If I get another 50+ miles and still no CEL...does that confirm my decision? The part was $100...the labor, I can do...except it seems to get a tad hairy with the adjustment phase of the install...Otherwise I would not hesitate to install it... Ahhhh....what to do, what to do.

I moved this to '40 section and deleted the one already here. There will be a pointer in the 850 forum to this topic.

Sorry, I can't have multiple posts about the same problem. Things get too confusing, plus it's just duplicate content.

I am here to learn and enjoy learning. I find it frustrating when people use abreviations PNP = WTF? without explaining it the first time you use said abbreviation... basic english.
Other gripe is not disclosing if/how issue was fixed.

It's called a PNP switch...(Park Neutral Position switch). No one would really call it by it's full name...it's not an abbreviation...it's the actual name of the item. From now on, I will refer to it as the PNP Switch.
