Alright. The car smogged. The monitors were ACTUALLY not applicable. Such a huge relief. So, to anyone who decides they want to take on the repairs of their Volvo by themselves... Buy the best OBD2 scanner you can purchase and get ONLY oem parts. Buy only OEM parts. BUY ONLY OEM PARTS!!! If you can'...

Thanks for the reassurance. I've been on some forums (unrelated to cars) that rip you a new one for asking questions that sound like you haven't thoroughly searched the issue first. I was kinda leaning on that downstream o2 being the HCM issue. It's not a crazy expensive part. In fact, in digging th...

HCM, 2 Air, A/C, and EGR OK - more info Im not sure what HCM is?? I don't think you have Air injection on this car at all The AC code is known to get stuck on these cars so that is a phantom You don't have EGR on this car. Make sure you have the right ECU - if someone has messed with that you are i...

If your company fires you for your car not passing smog, you will be buying new Volvos the rest of your life. You have to have access to a working vehicle - a rental, a loaner all these would fit the definition of your employment condition. Look at the document that dynbin (?) posted - I think he m...

New rule in 2015 See and that's exactly the issue I'm having and my evap is fine. If within a week I can't get the remaining monitors to set, I'm going to take it in ...

I have seen the procedures listed before on different volvo sites , you will have to search. You can start here https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/...

I'll try that. Thanks for the help.

300 miles of city driving or highway commuting? Mixed conditions? Try going for 100 miles all on the highway with no/very minimal stops. Are you wanting to have the modules active for any particular reason? Where are you located? It's been a mix of city and highway. More highway than city. I have t...

Ok y'all time for an update. Sorry for the very late response, very busy at work and school. I went to a wrecker and found my model car and took the sensor off and installed it on mine. It shut the CEL off thankfully. Now the issue I'm running into is drive cycle stuff. Only 6 out of the 10 readines...

Shoot, this leads me to believe I didn't fix the problem, as I've already turned off the CEL light with this method and the light returns with the same trouble code.
