A friends 93 Legacy Auto with 220K on it started having the Blinking Power light, but not all the time.  

 

I pulled the codes for him and it showed 32 & 33 the speed sensor.  This is not constant, a few miles later, the Power light was off and it was shifting as normal.

 

Thoughts?

 

Thanks,

Hi Larry,

I always 'suspect' that mechanical part that attaches to the pass. side of the trans - part of the cable...that only explains one sensor....maybe fix one>>>both?

Are you talking about the mechanical drive for the Speedo cable?

The speedometer is working fine.  That's why I was thinking the sensors on the tail shaft.

 

Thanks, Larry

Yes, I was. So must be the other sensor? Other than the TCU/TCM I don't know what else is involved.

Changed the tail shaft speed sensor,  I shifted well and no power light blinking.  

The owner drove it home, about 30 miles, no problem.

 

The next day, the blinking power light and shifting problems were back.  He put in the FWD fuse and it shifts well but the power light is still blinking.

 

I have not had time to pull the codes yet.

 

Ideas?
