Are you asking how to change the shift solenoid?

There are a lot of steps and warnings, so you really need to get hold of the service information procedures for lowering the transaxle to get access to the side cover. Your best bet is to try Alldata DIY.

Interesting, but it appears that Volvo is using a general motors 4T65E transmission?

You really need to have that diagnosed before ripping into the transmission. Just because it has shift solenoid in the trouble code description doesn't mean the shift solenoid is the culprit. You could have:


Quote
- The hydraulic valve for solenoid S1 has stuck in the open or closed position
- Defective control system (the solenoid binds or is stuck)
- Internal leakage in the transmission
- Warn or damaged clutch driven plates in the transmission.



Default is 3rd and reverse, so it probably isn't stuck in first. You really need to have a transmission specialist check it out before you break it down. There is service information for this because I am looking right at it. You won't find this stuff in a Chilton's manual.

I'm surprised that Alldata DIY doesn't have Volvo in their list. You could try Mitchell1diy, but I am not sure how much service information they have for the transmission in your car. You should contact them and ask.

It really wouldn't hurt to have a transmission specialist diagnose the problem. Then if you decide you want to take on the fix, you could. It might require a high end scan tool to do some diagnostic tests and experience in troubleshooting that transmission. Worst case scenario is it may need a complete tear down and inspection to see what is going on. Are you ready for that?

I'm fairly certain that Mitchelldiy has the service information procedure and steps for lowering the transmission to remove the side cover.

I checked both sites and Alldatadiy is not listing any Volvos but Mitchelldiy does show this vehicle

You also can buy factory service manuals from helm.com, but I will warn you that factory books are expensive. They may not even make a printed one for this, as Volvo has transitioned into an online service at their dealers. The employees at the dealers each have a login and the info comes directly from a secure site at Volvo headquarters. Even the semitrucks were like that ten years ago when I was working at a Mack and Volvo dealership.
