Re: Symptom of Gear Position Switch? S90-V90 97

Thanks, Brandon (and others).

I'll try this suggestion next time this happens.

In the meantime, I've noticed another odd behavior that I wonder is the same problem, or whether this is a software bug that exists in all 960/90's.

Prior to starting the engine, move the gear selector out of park. Try to start the engine. Obviously it won't start. Then put the gear selector in park, and try and restart the engine. In mine, it always fails the first time (acting just as it did when it was out of park), but starts on the second attempt with the starter.

I'm wondering whether these are related, and if this is a way to 'demo' the problem to the dealer. Could one of you try this on yours and report back the results?

Thanks.

Mark
