Question

thank you

Answer
Hey Richard! When the arrow flashes, it means there is a fault in the transmission. It could be a gear position sensor (most likely) or something more serious. You will need a dealer or a Volvo specialist with the correct scan tool to read the fault code stored in the TCM.
