Could be the neutral safety switch. Mine went bad a year or so ago (1997 900 SET, auto) and I replaced it, eliminated both CGBL and CEL. I did not read the fault codes, so I don't know what codes were showing.
Usual symptoms are:
- Check Gear Box light
- Car sometimes goes into "limp home" mode, i.e. starts out in 2nd gear..feels like your trying to drive with the parking brake on.
- Sometimes get CEL as well.
- Sometimes will temporarily clear if you cycle shift lever from Park <==> 1 about 20 times. Some think it's a contaminated/congealed grease problem within the switch.
If you look at previous threads for "neutral safety switch" there's lots on it. Good luck...BTW the switch is ~$270 at eEuroparts. I installed mine myself...not terribly complicated, just a pain because of where it's located (under the battery). Shop will probably want about $250 to install it.
