Starting Problem 2002 S60 2.4T AWD

Post by therdes »

Recently my s60 AWD with 132,00km has develoed a starting problem. Occaissionally when I turn the key, the engine doesn't turn over, and the following message appears in the information display: "Start Prevented, Try Again". Usually the car starts after 2 or 3 tries, but sometimes I have to wait 10 -15 minutes before this message dissappears, and the starter engages, and the engine starts. This happens when the car is hot or cold, but has only happened when the air temperature is above 25C/80F. Any help would be appreciated.
