Gear Position Sensor

  1. Check gear shift position sensor adjustment. Ensure gear shift is set to position "N". Remove battery, battery shelf, and air intake manifold. Remove transmission cable from rod arm. Remove selector lever. Install gear position Alignment Tool (999 5475) on control shaft. If shaft is set correctly to position "N", indentation on alignment tool should align with mark on gear position sensor. If indentation aligns with mark on gear position sensor, go to step  3 . If indentation does not align with mark, go to next step.
  2. Remove dipstick pipe bracket and gear position sensor screws. Rotate gear position sensor so mark on switch aligns with indentation on tool. Tighten sensor screws to 37 ft. lbs. (25 N.m). To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
  3. If gear position sensor is still not functioning correctly, inspect sensor. See DTC 313/P0705: GEAR POSITION SENSOR SIGNAL INCORRECT under DIAGNOSTIC TESTING in VOLVO AW50-42LE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS article. Repair or replace as necessary.
