Flashing arrow on automatic transmission 850 1993

1993 850
5 or 6 times a year the automatic transmission on my 1993 850 enters a “state” where when started and not in motion it seems to be in high gear (no power) -- this is accompanied by the flashing of the orange arrow on the dash. The dealer told me to repeatedly start and stop the engine until the problem was resolved. This procedure works after 10 to 15 on off cycles.

Does this sound familiar? What’s going on? Is this the proper correction? Can it be fixed?


Thanks,
Skip
