Try shifting the gear level from P to 1 and so forth with brakes fully depress. If still persists, check the linkage under the carriage if it is stuck or otherwise.

traction control indicates that the sensor in the wheel hub may not be picking up a good signal.
The engine light is a separate issue, where the engine may have a sensor that is out of specifications, as far as the signals it is sending. These signals are out of range for the specs. recorded in the computer.
The engine will not run as efficiently when the service engine soon light is on.
Have codes scanned and go from there as far as diagnosing the problem(s).
The lights indicate a problem with the transmission. The fact that the engine wont start, leads me to believe that the PNP (neutral safety switch) is the problem. You will have to have the vehicle scanned to make sure.
This is a common problem of Volvo S40. You can try this trick to turn off the flashing arrow light.
1) Turn off Engine
2) Turn key to "On" position (Not start the engine), you will see the panel light will on
3) Step on the break paddle
4) Shift the gear from "P" to "L" 10 times
5) Turn key to " Off" position
6) Now you can start the engine.
7) If doesn't work, you can repeat the procedure.
under dash connect together the 2 green multiplugs. The CEL light (Check Engine Light) will flash. Slow then fast. Count the slow flashes then the fast ones. I.E. code 21 will give 2 slow flashes then 1 fast = 21.
I had the same problem which was diagnosed incorrectly 3 times
Could be one of 2 things you may want to check
Have a tech read your codes
Have the ABS Control Module checked by a technician. If that is ok then make sure they look at the altenator
In my case, I was getting voltage spikes that were shorting out system controls -the ABS Control Module and the battery, etc. Once they put in a new altenator, the problem was fixed.
