Volvo xc90 rear hatch door closed and won't open
Hold the hatch hard closed into its frame whilst pulling on the release handle. The mechanism on most cars consists a grab/release on the door and a simple metal hop at the bottom of the frame. Over time the hoop can become loose and move slightly inwards each time the door is shut. The door seal rubbers push back on the door surround putting a lot of tension against the grab/release mechanism preventing it from releasing. By pressing on the door and compressing the rubber surround you will take the pressure off the release mechanism and allow it to open when you pull on the handle.
Once the door hatch is open, loosen the mounting bolts to the metal hoop and move it out about 10mm. Tighten the mounting bolts. Shut the door gently as a trial close and check for security of fit. If very slack, ease the hoop inwards a couple of millimetres. When happy, tighten the mounting bolts securely. draw around the hoop mount with indelible ink so if it moves in future you have early visual warning and can remount it easily
Check Engine problem
When it comes to emission control systems, a certified mechanic should be the only one to replace and or repair such components. It should be located on either the driver or passenger firewall at the bottom. It is a tubular (usually black) canister with about 3-4 hoses running out of the top of it. You may want to also have a diagnostics done to determine if your O2 sensors need replaced. I hope this information is helpful in solving your emissions issue.
