Engine Management Light

May 13th, 2005, 21:39

I have a 2000 S40, X Reg, just been serviced at 95,000 no running problems at all, but the engine management light keeps coming on.. It has been reset once - after having all the electics checked at a volvo dealership and no problems... Any thoughts anyone? All help gratefull received... Thanks

Hi there,

Your dealership should be able to plug into your car's ecu and see what has caused the fault code, what did they say about it when you picked it up?

Hi

thanks for your reply. It was on when I brought the car about 3 months ago - and the dealership said that it was because it had been sat there for some time idle, and run very low on petrol. They reset it and filled up the tank when I took it away and no problems since. Its been serviced, new fuel filter etc, and had new brake discs, still running perfectly fine and am getting around 36mpg out of it - the only thing I know it needs is two new front tyres. Surely that couldnt affect it could it? It came on again yesterday whilst sat in the queue at Mcdonalds drive through..!

Thanks
Lizzie
