Don't get me wrong but....if you asked for ECM-1100 at first place you would have correct answer:

Volvos DO have specific codes and because of that...ECM format codes are 100% correct instead of generic/universal codes in "P" format which can lead you to wrong way.

I don't think the OP had the ECM code until s/he got access to VIDA, just the Pcode which isn't in the P code charts.

I have both in Alldata but there is no cross reference, unfortunately. My AUTEL 800 does give the ECM codes which is neat

It is also the code that is failing me at emissions. When I clear the code, it will come right back in about 20 seconds.
I had this happen on my '99 V70 a couple years ago.

We had clipped a chunk of tire tread on the Interstate, and it had broken one of the 2 temperature sensors on the front air dam. Replaced it with one from a salvage yard, and we were back in business.
