Instrument panel not working

Post by Tgarland125 »

I've searched on this topic and I couldn't find anything. If I'm duplicating a post, I apologize.

I recently purchased a 2002 Volvo S40 1.9T with 79K miles on it. On about the 3rd day, I had a flat tire. Realized that both back tires were no good and needed replacing.

I replaced both back tires and the next time I started the car, I notice none of the gauges worked and the odometer read 'Pin Code'.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on??

There is nothing in the owners manual about odometer displaying the words "Pin code".

I appreciate all thoughts and advice!

Thanks!

PIN codes are only from the dealer. I suspect that when you enter it (or they go) everything will work again. Since I don't own an S40, I don't know anything about it, but it seems like your battery got disconnected or low somehow.
