Your auto electrician does not know how it works , The lambda sensor generates a voltage and sends it to the ECU .. What is most likely is the electric heater in the lambda sensor has failed or the fuse for it has blown … that is the first test to do .
If you do need a new sensor get the original volvo one , it is likely in my experience that a non genuine one may not work properly and get the light on again .You get what you pay for … Check the electric heater part of your lambda sensor first ..
