I have the warning light up for Transmission fault on the dashboad. I have had it tested on a Snap On Solus this has brought up the code P0705 Transmission Range Circuit Sensor Malfunction. My Car is a Saab 95 Estate Auto Ecopower. Could you help with what part needs replacing or how this problem can be resolved.

Answer:

the range sensor is located on side of trans housing. The shifter cable goes to it. It send signal to computer indicating gear postion etc. for refernce. I have dealt with several posts lately where these have been a problem. It is not a recall. The range sensor new at dealer is around $295 plus 1.2 hours to change it. It can affect shifting or possible put trans in fail safe mode preventing shifting of transmission. A full scan of Trans controls can indicate if it is reading correctly through all functions.
