I have a 2009 Volvo C 70. Yesterday my son was driving it and hit a curb with the front drivers side bumper... was moving slowly. But it did some cosmetic damage. But now the immobilizer won’t let the car stay running… It will start and a soon as it drops to an idle it dies.

We bought this car used and I do not have an owners manual.

I’m trying to discern whether or not there something actually wrong or the immobilizer simply needs to be reset.

He said that the windshield wipers came on and we’re on high the first time he try to start the car… Now the screen reads that there is a power steering issue and then occasionally it will say the word immobilizer.

Any advice would be appreciated.
