XC90 - Engine System Service Required
Hi,
First post, so here goes! I have a 61 plate D5 Exec XC90. With 23,000 miles. First 3 services were carried out at Volvo main dealership. I recently moved to the IOW and as there is no Volvo dealer went to an independent for its 4th service. A few days after the service a message came up: Engine System Service Required. I went back to the garage and the mechanic tried to reset it by pushing in the trip button whilst turning the key. During this time code 042 was displayed. The message reset but kept reappearing on starting the engine. He went away and came back with a box of tricks that he plugged in under the dash and reset it. Fast forward 1 week and the same message has reappeared. Probably at the same location as the first time i.e. going up a nearby hill. Whilst trying to reset using the trip/key trick, code 082 was displayed. Message reappeared on starting the engine. Did some research and it appears that the oil may have been overfilled and it does look a little high on the dipstick. (Correlates with the hill). I intend to remove some oil using a syringe kit when it arrives. Questions I have: a. If it is overfilled oil, will the fault message reset itself after rectifying or does it need to go back to the garage? b. Where do I find out what the codes mentioned above mean? Any other information gratefully received. Many thanks. |

Take it back to the garage, they overfilled it, they potentially caused the issue... |
Definitely overfilled with oil!! There is a sensor in the sump which uses sonar to detect the oil level. It's VERY sensitive, and even if you fill the correct 5.7 litres it will often put the EML light on. The level should be set using Vida or something similar and the engine needs to be run to temperature, with the level being set between 70 and 80 percent.

Definitely oil related.
As already said they sensor is very sensitive and you should only fill the oil up 2/3rds on the dip stick. See thread below http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=127474 |

Thank you for your replies.
I've sucked about 500ml of oil out through the dipstick pipe using a large syringe and small bore plastic tubing. The oil level is now roughly what it should be according to the tally. (Photo attached). Does anybody have any idea how to remove the 'Engine System Service' message? I've tried to remove it doing the trip/key method to no avail. The first time it was reset (before oil removed) the mechanic had to use a device plugged in under the dash. Could be a trip back to the indie dealer if all else fails. Thanks again. |
Most error message disappear on their own once the fault is fixed and the system has checked itself a few times so taking the car for a drive and patience usually works. :thumbs_up:
Of course it's always preferable to know exactly what the code was rather than guessing. |
XC90 Engine Systen Service Required
First post - just joined.
56 plate D5 80,000 miles. 100 miles after service. Engine etc warning message. 2 faults 6665 glow plug relay control faulty signal 5660 oil level sensor faulty signal Both cleared by local garage for £20 inc VAT. I was expecting the swirl valve cable fault (as in another Engine System Service Required three (that I could not find this morning - apologies). But the cable was fine. |

If the problem isn't fixed, the codes and warning will return. |

However, the message remains, although admittedly I haven't driven the car that much. I just need a cheapie reader to clear the message, I'm not interested at this stage in the more expensive readers. Any recommends please? Thanks for your help. |

The message will go on its own if oil was the problem and you've resolved it. |

Error Code 082 on 2011 XC90 Executive
I've just had our XC90 serviced and the engine system service required warning has come on.
We knew it was the oil as we wasted a lot of money on a new sensor light when we first bought it, so we have asked the garage to remove some oil - down to 3/4 full. The light, however, is still on and we have just sold the car and were due to drop it off to the new owners this afternoon! So annoyed! We tried the reset trick, but it shows error code 082. Does anyone know what that is? |

Oddly enough, not onlyis that message up but the alarm keeps going off too for no reason! |
As you can see in comment #11 above, a decent mileage needs to be covered before the warning self cancels.
The erratic alarm behaviour is probably the internal siren battery giving up. |
Hi guys, I have the same prob, did you finally solve it by sucking out the extra oil? Has the message cleared?
|
It worked for me.
Approx 500ml oil removed using syringe, so the level was as per the picture in post #5. The message only cleared after covering a couple of hundred miles, see post #11. |
I have this message come up but I had the oil changed around a year ago, seems strange for this message to come up now. I won't be able to remove any oil for a week at least but I need to do 13 miles a day to work and back in the meantime, will it be ok using the car. I live on a hill so checking the oil level is not accurate and need to check it next when I park on a level road.
|
My car is an S60 D5 2008. What syringe would somebody recommend?
|
High oil level can result in higher risk of diesel runaway which destroys your Engine.
Yes everyone will say the risk is low. But that is one consequence. Drive the car to a flat road and suck out some oil. |

Sorry to drag this up. After my garage over filling the oil at a service I have the same message as above that won't clear. I've taken it to two garages who can't find a fault code. Before a shell out on Vida that I don't have the funds for at the moment would Vida show a code for this? I've done over 500 since draining oil but still have the message?

Have you checked to see if the swirl arm is still attached? If not, it can easily throw up that message. Lift the engine cover off and look to the front left of the cylinder head and you will see an electric motor and a link arm connecting to another arm. The link arm is notorious for failing. Loads of threads re fixes on here. If disconnected and you fix it the message will disappear after a couple of days. Worth having a look.👍 |
I'm not great with newer engines. Is it obviouse or do you have a photo? I struggle with searching on the forum
|
If you follow the instructions in my previous post it will be very obvious if it's ok or detached.
|
Lovely, I'll take a look in the morning. Cheers

Look here.👍 Should say "Connected":teeth_smile: |
Well, turns out my swirl flap is all in order and at just over 1000miles the message has finally gone on its own accord

Engine system service required
Got this msg popping up sometimes. Engine oil not been changed or topped up since last service, (Oct 20), oil level ok, swirl valve arm attached ok. Anyone have any more ideas please?

Indeed, without a VIDA reading my nearest guess is that the flux capacitor is leaking
