I've been trying to read codes...I have another post here.

Just wondering if it IS a problem or if it is just a service reminder.

I've used the computer interface on two Chevy's, two GMCs and a Saturn, but as soon as I connect it to the Volvo, it doesn't seem to want to connect.

The only thing I can think of is the software I have loaded on my laptop. I guess it's time for an update?

Remove the low beam bulbs and check the connectors. Sometimes they can get corroded and lose contact. If there is any powdery residue on them, use a wire brush to clean them up and use some di-electric grease on the contacts to prevent further corrosion. If they aren't corroded, you may have wiring ...

I'm not an expert with Volvo's, but as an experienced mechanic, I'll just spew some basic troubleshooting advice to you. First, I beleive that the door switch is located inside the door. I would pull the trim off the door and check that before going anywhere else. If the computer thinks the door is ...

'00 S80 T6. What is this? It trips the check engine light as well and I can't seem to be able to reset it. Is this a service reminder or does it indicate that there is something wrong? Just bought the car, and the stealer is going to fix the issue, but if it comes again when the waranty is done, I'd...

A few years ago, I bought a scan tool that was advertised to work with any OBD II system, but when I plug it up to my '00 S80 T6, it doesn't seem to recognize the system.

Do Volvo's require a different OBD II scanner than the rest of the industry?

Any help would be great.

I don't have a lot of experience with Volvos, but I'm just going to spout off some basic electrical troubleshooting in this matter. 1. If you can gain access to the switch, remove it and verify that the wires aren't lose or touching each other or metal. 2. While you have the switch out, replace the ...

Tom, these S80's are notorious for problems.... What kinds of problems? Are they the sort that requires replacement of expensive parts or very costly dealership maintenance? I'm interested because the wife loves the car...has loved the style since they first came out...and we just got the loan appr...

Thanks for the information, but it's an automatic.

I'm about to get approved for the loan that will put a 2000 S80 T6 in my garage and I was hoping that I could get some information here. I didn't do much shopping but this car stuck out and I had to have a closer look. I was assured that a strut mount was replaced (due to a clunk) and that the timin...
