Received a call from an operator saying warning light flashing and machine will not move forward or reverse.
Also displaying fault code SE 4201 11J gear shifter malfunction. After a quick call to the dealer and the resulting shockwave " None in stock $2200 available overnight" My reply was are any parts available? "Yes a control unit for $500 and we have stock"
Thankfully we have a second unit and after a few minutes swapping shifters we were able to get machine back to our shop. My first action was to swap out the control unit to try and determine if it was faulty. No not the case.
After some inspection it was determined that a broken wire had occurred inside the housing were the harness makes a ridiculously tight 180 direction change. A little solder and viola we were back in business. It occurred on a sensor identical to this located inside the metal shifter body![Name: volvo shifter.jpg
