Car Forum / Volvo Cars / February 2005'95 850: Fixed the AT and broke the cruise control
I have been posting about how my AT would generate an error when I shifted down into "3" while descending a hill and it would cause the dreaded flashing yellow arrow and the check engine light. On the eighth trip to the shop, with the sleuth of Mike, they replaced the pnp switch on the AT and now that problem is fixed. However, now the cruise control doesn't work. I checked the cruise control fuse and it is OK. Is there some obvious relation between the AT and the cruise control or a reason why working on the AT could kill the cruise control? I told the dealer about it, but haven't scheduled to take it in yet.  SignatureCheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA, USA Owned '67,'68,'71,'74,'79,'81,'87,'93,'95 & '02 Volvos.

Look under the battery there is a vacuum pump check to see if any vacuum lines are off Signature"*-344-*Never Forgotten" Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001. The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as long as I live, nor should any American.

Bring it in and it will only take a couple minutes to fix it." Thanks much.

While the PNP switch allows the starter to engage when the the switch is closed, it will at the same time turn off the cruise control module. The cruise control will turn on again when the PNP switch is opened. So - yes there is some obvious relation to the work done. Maybe the PNP is permanently closed, even letting you start while in Drive position.
