Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

P0455 relates to Volvo code ECM-68 which is a leak diagnostic of the fuel system. It may be something as simple as a loose or missing fuel filler cap to a leak in one of the components of the fuel system: tank; filler pipe; EVAP canister; canister purge valve or one of the hoses in the system.

Obviously the easiest check is the filler cap for tightness or for a damaged or missing sealing ring - a common cause of this code.
