2012 XC70 AWD 3.2 non turbo - Running rough

Post by wolfstein »

The 2012 XC 70 AWD 3.2 non-turbo is running very rough. Volvo Stated a month ago the "4" coil was bad and cleared the error codes. O2 sensor error code has been coming and going away. I decided to replace all the spark plugs and coils. She purred after that.

3 days later low battery light and I could not turn the engine over. I got a jump and headed to the auto store to have them check on the battery (2019 when the other owner of the car replaced it). Dead cell, So I had them replace the battery.. Less than a week later same thing happen again. The battery was faulty. The voltage fluctuated a lot, too. The starter and alternator were checked out through the test, and they were good. The battery was replaced again. That pesky low battery keeps showing up.

So, I will look into a voltage reg. Then she, Last Tuesday, started idle and drive roughly. I could not accelerate. I got home and decided to change the voltage regulator. It needed it.

Cleaned the TB and hooked everything back up. She is worst.

Codes from the last month before the first clear by me today

Error codes today after the clear.
P050B
P0300, 5,4,3,2,1
P1573

When back through everything, check all the connectors, coils, check the bolts and tighten if needed.
P1573
P0507 now.
Reduce engine performance
Cleaned the battery terminal and connectors..

So, What next? Fuel Filter? She is due for an oil change (holding off until she is running). ECM or TCM?
