Flashing arrow/check engine 850 96

posted by  someone claiming to be Eric W. on  Mon Apr 16 06:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Around Thanksgiving, I got the flashing tranmission arrow and check enging light and was told by the dealer that this was due to a broken gear position sensor. Today, I noticed the flashing arrow. Checking the gear selector, I saw it was slightly out of the "D" detent (?irrelevant) and slid it back in. The arrow stayed on and the check engine light came on moments later.

Gear position sensor again? If so, should there be an explicit or implied warranty on the last one?

Thanks.

Eric W.

I just got the same blinking arrow, along w/ an occasional slip of the auto trans. Dealer is now replacing the transmission $2500.00

93,000 miles

Hope everyone makes out better than I did.

To shut off your check engine light because of not having the lever in the proper position sometimes can be shut off by disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. You must know your radio code because you only have 3 chances to enter it or you will have to wait about 2 hours before it can be entered again.
