S70 Transmission Prob and Codes S70

posted by  someone claiming to be EBR on  Mon Jan 12 05:13 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi -- I've got a '99 S70 that recently had the original battery die. No sweat, really. Jumped the car, bought a new one, and now starts up like a champ.

However, since jumping it (which I have since heard may be an issue), the amber low-gear light is flashing, with the Check Engine light on as well. The car also is stuck in the "safe mode" where it starts off in 2nd gear. Drives fine once up to speed, but is a pig when moving from a dead stop.

I brought it to a local shop, and they found two codes:

P0605 - ECM/PCM memory error (internal control module ROM error), and
P1618, which neither they knew, nor the Brickboard reference had listed.

Not being sure what they were looking at, they did the right thing and didn't mess around with it, nor tried to sell me some repair that may not work. Any thoughts how bad this could be or what the problem may be? Anything I could do before bringing to the dealer? Thanks.

EBR
