Hey everyone. I parked my volvo for a couple weeks (The battery never went dead) and when I drove it again there is now a multitude of problems. First off the check engine light now comes on with an ecm530b code which is a control module comm. code. This is causing the trans to default to 4th gear. When this happens instead of saying P in park it just has a i without the dot. I also have no sunroof and a uem-0004 code. I was searching for wiring issues and I decided to try the sunroof again. Lo and behold it started working and the P magically reappeared. Is there anyone here that has seen anything like this? I am running out of ideas. Are there any water intrusion issues with these? There is no communication with the tcm either. I am hoping there is one simple solution to this and that everything is related.

are you sure your battery and alternator are good? what are the voltages on the battery (running and with the key out)?

The battery and alternator are newer and both function properly.

Sounds like CEM. Similar problems (with a one year old good battery and good voltage)

First try a hard reset
Undo your battery cables from the battery and tie/clamp them together for about 30 minutes
When you reconnect them make sure the NEGATIVE cable is connected first.

You can't hurt anything and it just may work
