MIL ?

Can you give us codes default reference like X-X-X ?

Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) which on these are that Lambda light.. which didn't have space to write "Check engine" there but on Volvo literature there is written below Lambda symbol "Check engine". Then Volvo does use on their literature just MIL as refer for it.

Fenix 5.2 pdf which found online lists that "1-3-1 RPM sensor signal" does not trigger MIL light on in notes but does many other fault codes like "3-1-4 CMP sensor signal".

Update: had none fault codes.

I have had an intermittent misfire that did not generated a CEL code for several months. I assume you already visually inspected the wires and rotor for corrosion and so forth.

Thank you all! Found the culprit on store parking slot after returning there with parts i had on shelf waiting for years in case it was these.. and it was happily.

Note to myself that you cannot use multimeter to measure the camshaft sensor.. but crank one you can its between 200 to 400 Ohms.

Camshaft one gave anywhere between 5 -7 Mohms where you measured.

Haha Guilty indeed! I'm glad you found it. Corrosion finds its way into the wiredest places.

Yeah, I'd say that rotor is shot!

Got a new passenger control arm. Was a Delphi replacement which seemed to be good quality. Further I need a driver inner tie rod as it has some play however my passenger side seems good now. Video of the old ball joint attached.

Finished chopping these AWD subframe brackets off so they don't smash my brake lines anymore. Believe it or not, I had no indication there was an issue beyond hearing a clunk on harder bumps. No issues with the brake pedal!
I took the opportunity to replace the old stiff rubber brake hoses with stainless ones. I had to cut back and re-flare the driver side line, since I had just use a union to keep a hard brake line to that side when I did the FWD suspension swap. I prefer to have a flexible line somewhere in the area to allow for suspension movement!

And yes, I plan on cleaning up the leftovers from those brackets. Just too lazy to do it now... I've been really slow to get this done, I'll just be happy to be able to drive the car again after it sitting for another week or two now lol.
