Gear-shift position sensor, gear selector assembly PRND43L
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P/R/N/D/4/3/L = normal gear positions.
OR/OD/OL = Undefined R, D or L positions - the signals from the gear-shift position sensor are outside the normal range but are not interpreted as a fault. This may be because the gear selector is between positions or that the gear-shift position sensor is incorrectly adjusted.
FAULT = the gear-shift position sensor has transmitted the wrong combination of signals and a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been stored.
