Problem overview

Some Volvo S60 owners report experiencing issues related to the transmission system when the service transmission light illuminates, indicating potential problems. Common symptoms include delayed engagement when shifting gears, a burning smell from the transmission fluid, and the check engine light being activated. Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious consequences, making prompt attention essential. Additionally, some owners report difficulty shifting gears, strange noises from the transmission, fluid leaks, and slipping or jerking while driving, all of which suggest automatic transmission problems. Specific error messages like "Transmission Service Required" may also appear, indicating faults in the transmission range sensor circuit or other components. In cases where the transmission service light temporarily disappears but later reappears, this may signal an intermittent issue that requires thorough inspection by a professional. Owners are advised to have their vehicles scanned for error codes to accurately diagnose the problem and take appropriate action. Finally, to reset warning messages and ensure proper functioning of the transmission system after servicing, a visit to a Volvo specialist or dealership may be necessary. Following the manufacturer's recommendations and addressing transmission-related issues promptly is crucial for maintaining the performance and reliability of the Volvo S60.
