Parking brake light on when brake off!
I have an annoying problem with the parking brake. When released the P light intermittently comes on and off on the dash. This often coincides with the audible pinging (the same as when seat belt is not fastened).
If i touch the foot brake pedal or move it slightly the noise stops. Is it a switch or sensor in the pedal that's causing this? Thanks |

I have the same on my s60..... Only appeared after Volvo had replaced the handbrake shoes/pads......it is probably a sticky sensor, but it is really annoying!

XC90 Access to the parking brake switch
Hi
Does anyone know where this switch is so I can access it and see why the warning light/pinging are staying on when the handbrake is released? I think it's behind the carpet panel in the driver's footwell. How do you remove the carpet panel? I tried to remove it but it seems stuck fast and I don't want to brake the clips that hold it in. Thanks Pete |

You need to remove the 4 drivers seat bolts and lift the seat up and back a bit , remove the amplifier , and the console side trim carpet piece by the pedal , and the sill trim and the trim around the bonnet pull handle . The carpet is one dished piece with 6 inches of foam under it ,you might like to push the steering column seal down the other side of the carpet before pulling the carpet out .. That rubber shroud is difficult to get back in ... Be prepared to find a rusty parking brake lever assembly ..

Hi Clan
Thanks for that. Are your instructions for a right hand drive car or left hand drive? Mine is RHD. Pete |

Fudge it's super annoying, I've got the same issue yesterday with my xc90 2006. It keeps chiming as I'm driving. though strange as I was on "D", I tried soccer kicking the parking brake the light comes off momentarily then comes back on but the chiming stops until I park the car again.
I've even adjusted the cable and it still has there same issue. The braking shoes seem to be fine. is there any suggestions that may solve this issue? Last edited by elmagiicz1; Jan 8th, 2021 at 23:07. |

Hi friend in Sydney
So I resolved this a few years ago on my 2010 XC90 (right hand drive) and it's not come back. I sprayed some WD40 at the switch on the footbrake pedal which must have been getting stuck thus causing the alarm and warning light to stay on. There is a carpet panel clipped to the tunnel to the left of the footbrake pedal. If you pull it from the edges the hidden clips will release, but be careful as some may break off. Remove the carpet panel or pull it back enough towards the front enabling you to spray the WD40 at the switch. Get a can of WD40 and (from memory) I couldn't see thecswitch but just sprayed WD40 in the general area where I thought the switch would be. To my surprise it worked and has been ok since. Let me know if it works for you. Best wishes Peter |

If you remove the centre console side (just clips on) you can sometimes peel the carpet back enough to see what’s going on but if you’ve got large hands or low tolerance of awkward tasks then best to remove the seat, amplifier and carpet as described above - it’s not nearly as difficult or as long a task to do that as it sounds.
