Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction

Jun 05, 2009 1 Replies

Hi there!



The engine light came on. My OBDII reader reports: "P0705. Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL)."



Car: Volvo 850 GLE, Automatic, 1986.



I do not notice any change in the way the car operates. I reset the code, but it came back on when I restarted the engine.



Is the malfunction a serious one - can I drive for a while before having the car serviced?



Can I perform the service myself, I'm comfortable with tools and various vehicle maintenance jobs. Any proprietary tools for this one needed?



Thanks very much!
