2000 S70 transmission code problem What has failed on your 1992-2000 FWD or AWD Volvo?

Post by jpabrutus »

I have a Volvo S 70 2000 non turbo, 2.4 front wheels drive. While driving at 60 miles an hour, suddenly, the transmission made a bumping move and the arrow started flashing and the check engine light turned on. I had it hook up on the Auto zone scanner
which gave me the codes: P 1618 fault in lead between AW 50-52 and Motronic 4.3
and Code P0740 Torque converter clutch solenoid.
I replaced the solenoid ( the one with the black connector) the arrow is still flashing.
I replaced the whole valve body, the arrow continues flashing while the car runs great.
I think the computer holds the old message. How can I erase the codes? or is there any other reasons that might cause it?
Anticipated thanks for you valuable help.

Use the search function in your model forum to see if others have dealt with the same issue.
And yes, the fault code needs to be erased or it will keep popping up like a bad penny - even though I don't know what that means.
