Besides PNP What Triggers Blinking Arrow 850

My '93 850 had the PNP (Gear Position Sensor, as it says on bill) replaced before I bought it, so its only like 500 miles old. Today I got in the car to go home from school and the up arrow was blinking. Usually, PNP failure right, from what I understand if PNP fails car locks in Winter mode. However, my car drives fine, it shifts through the gears, it's not sluggish so I'm pretty sure it's starting in 1st. I put the car in L and it was definitely in 1st gear. Still the up arrow and the Green Econ light continue to blink. Even after I stopped to go to the store and started the car up again. It won't shift out of park with foot off brake, I think thats the microswitch, that should be ok. So my question, What could it be?
