Newbie! Auto tranny problems 850 1994

Hello everybody!

My name is Mikael Jarosinski and iam from the home of the worlds best carbrand which you all know :)

Its a shame i discovered this forum just when i have a problem with my gearbox. But hopefully i'll try and post some positive things as well.

Here is the story, yesterday I was going to take the car for a drive. It had stood for almost 24 hours which is pretty long and it was constantly raining after it had been warm for a weeks or so. It was a climatechange, maybe not so dramatic but still (just want to take everything into account).

Anyway I roll out of my parkinspace and immediatly the orange arrow symbol starts blinking together with the gearbox slippat A LOT (now i know the car went into limp-home mode as i learned here). Anyway I park the car back to its place and went online to post all over the place (we have a great forum in Sweden at www.turboperformanceclub.com).

They ask me to find out the error code from the under the hood. It was so dark and I didnt really know where it was so i gave up. But when I was going to turn the car off and go back home (had it running on idle), I noticed it was no longer flashing?! I put in D and drove forward a bit and no more slipping.

So this morning, I go and find out the error code from Socket A-1 and the problem is not there today either! Anyway there was a error code which was 3-2-2. Tried driving around a bit and no problem at all!

So how do we explain all this? Do I still need to worry or was it an occasional false alert from the PNP or something?

It seems these issues have been discussed quite a lot here so iam sure someone has a quick answer for me :)

Micke
