• Ignition on
• Read off the position of the gear selector.
  NOTE:

  Select the correct gear selector assembly from the list.

  Shift the gear selector to all gear positions several times. This is to check the function of the gear selector sensor.

  The selected position must be the same as that displayed in VIDA (Volvo scan tool). If the display shows an undefined position (OR for example) when a specific gear is selected, the transmission cable needs adjusting.

  NOTE:

  An undefined position may be displayed between the fixed gear positions. This is not  a fault.

  Adjust the gear-shift position sensor if necessary according to GEAR-SHIFT POSITION SENSOR, CHECKING/ADJUSTING .
