Let's go back to the beginning (a very good place to start), look through the grille at the front of the car and see if you there's a silver or gold resistor mounted at roughly the 2 or 3 o'clock position.
Keep well

That's where lies the confusion: I've seen the same mistake about the 2nd or 3rd speed. Actually it looks indeed that the error P0481 is regarding the 2nd and not the 3rd. So why that mistake in some reports?
I'm sure my 3rd speed is working: it's clearly audible!
I'm not so sure about the 2nd which is far less noisy but the TOAF tells it's Ok. So I rely upon the TOAF.
Regarding the resistor in my 1999 KV6, it's obviously silver, as I've just verified today. I guess it could be as old as the car. Not many gold resistors here in France I bet: my seller in 2017 wasn't a connoisseur and kept the car only 13 months (I'm the 4th owner). In the bunch of bills I was given and going back to the end of 2013 (and paid by the previous owner) no such investment.
