I have a P01618 and a P0717 code, I scanned it and I am learning that there are several things that control a shift. I have between 618 and 620 OHMS on each VSS. Throttle plate has been cleaned, codes erased and arrow does not come on at idle or bringing rpms up while in park. I am leaning on abs module or transmission but I don't know how to test the abs module. Can anyone help with my flashing arrow problem? Car also boggs down and serges while driving.

These models had a problem with the electronic control modules, and this is what controls the idle speed. Sometimes they just need to be cleaned, but sometimes they are defective. Volvo has extended the warranty on some of them to 10 years or 200,000 miles if it is found to be defective.

your going to have to call up your local volvo dealer and give them your vin number and they can look it up for you. You can try using radio-code.com but i wouldnt recomend it. Your best bet is calling your local volvo dealer and they will help you out.

Yes, it's the 'pnp' switch (also known as the inhibitor switch) which is on the side of the transmission.
I own 2 Volvo 960s (3 litre automatics) which are similar in many respects ... and have that flashing arrow. It's a well known fault and you don't have much to worry about.
Rather than write it all here, you can read what I wrote as an ebay guide about it at http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Volvo-960-Automatic_W0QQugidZ10000000003233806
I did put similar info on my website at http://www.glennsmart.btinternet.co.uk/volvo960.html with photos
Though the ebay guide is better ...
If you haven't got time to read it ... forget the flashing arrow and put a bit of black tape over it ... My wife's car has (192,000 miles) had that arrow flashing for 3 years. My car (100,000 miles) has had that flashing arrow since I bought it 1 year ago.
I did change the pnp on both cars ... but you also need to have the computer error reset by Volvo to have the light extinguished. Don't worry ... keep driving.
