191995 850 Turbo sedan - upshift light continuously on without the check engine light on 850

posted by  someone claiming to be yct on  Thu Apr 19 16:38 CST 2012 [RELATED]

A couple of days ago, while our 1995 850 turbo sedan was stopped with its engine running, the orange upshift light came on and stayed continuously on, while there was no check engine light on. That continued for the following 30 minutes, and it felt like the car would not get into the 4th gear after a while (I say 'felt like', because I was driving in downtown Chicago with a lot of traffic; therefore, there were a few chances that the car could get into 4th gear). Any ideas on what may have happened or what may be coming up? Thank you.

The 1995 850 turbo sedan has 200k+ miles and purchased new by us ~18 years ago. It has been a great car so far.

    When was the last time you flushed the tranny? The tranny computer noticed that the ATF was too hot and told you that it was not going to shift into 4th gear until it cools down. The tranny pump is driven by egnine speed and is why it didn't want to shift into 4th gear.

    The upshift arrow is a warning, not a disaster, unless it is blinking.

      The transmission fluid was changed about 27k miles ago (and 4 years ago) at the volvo dealer. The color of the transmission fluid looks pretty good. Should it be changed anyway?

      The pnp switch is 5 months (and 1500 miles) old (also changed at the volvo dealer).

        There is a brickboarder down by Midway that might help you flush the tranny. Much better and cheaper than a dealer. But he is like you and does not register on the BB.

          Do you have a name or address? I live fairly close to Midway. Thank you.

            If you register on the Brickboard, I will be happy to send you an Email. The only two fields you must enter are your email address and zipcode. All of the rest of the info can be secured so no one can look at it.

            Don't worry, the site administrator does not 'sell' any of the information.
