Red triangle POWER SYSTEM SERVICE URGENT
I cleaned the throttle body and inlet mani on my '09 plate C30 2.0D on wednesday as per this guide http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=157241.
Took her out a day later and about a mile up the road I get this error message Couple of questions: I've read the fault is something to do with the alternator? Any thoughts? Could any of the cleaning I did affect the alternator? or anything else cause this error message? Lastly is it still okay to drive? It's booked in for diagnostics on tuesday morning but I've got to work monday and have errands in the meantime? Last edited by oneilldom; Jan 1st, 2016 at 12:05. |

most likely your alternator is not charging so you are running just on the battery which will soon be flat .. As you have a 2litre diesel ,if you leave the battery flat for long the ECU can loose it's security codes , so a tow to the dealer to have the software re loaded as well as a new alternator .

There's a rubber pipe that fits on the throttle body which you pull off if completely removing it. Has this come off ? If so it would give this message.

Pipe was detached and re-attached when cleaning. What is the pipe for and why does it cause the error message? I will go out to re-check it now but checked it yesterday when pulled over when first saw warning and looked to be okay. Thanks EDIT: Thinking about it, the little rubber pipe is a vaccuum pipe operating the valve/damper/flap whatever you want to call it, isn't it? How would this affect the alternator?

Have also had the same when my alternator packed in. Unlucky to have cleaned the throttle body and then get an unrelated issue. Good luck Andy |

You should leave for 5 mins after switching off to change battery to allow for codes to be stored.
