2005 Volvo S80 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

There is a manual crank on it. Better to fix it or Reset it though.

code p 2179 refers to system too lean off idle bank2===causes ---fuel pressure --injectors ---intake leak also refers to adaptive heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) control--bank 2---signal high===causes ---wiring ---short to positive --HO2S --ECM at this point I would be focusing the attention on the HO2S sensor and it's wiring the HO2S reports on the exhaust gas composition to the ECM so that fuel /air settings can be adjusted to maintain the gas composition within set parameters if those parameters cannot be maintained then the ECM goes a bit funny in trying to adjust injector fuel settings , fuel pressure regulator settings ( if electronic controlled ) and MAF settings

check for fuse to the relays for high beams

Take a look at the stuff on this page: https://www.google.com/search?q=replace+the+passenger+side+mirror+on+a+2005+Volvo+S80&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

See pg 13 http://esd.volvocars.com/local/us/Navigation_Manuals/2011-Volvo-Navigation-Manual-C30-S40-V50-C70-XC90.pdf

It's inside the right hand (pass. side) mirror.

The alarm is inside the right front fender. Open the wheel well to access.

check shocks

shut the car off and restart.. see if it goes out.. if not take to parts store or garage.. get the error code erased or see what it is..

That is because you used the name that is relatedto a code & has nothing to do with the need to replacea partCodes are only to point you to the system with the faultThen you component test using your referencematerial & trouble chartsStudy how OBD2 Systems workGoogle the codes & read up

If you feel the vibration through the steering wheel at 100km/h at this speed then the wheel/s need balancing.

I assume you meant to say fouling up??If so read on.

HelloThe engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

All cars sold in the USA after 1994 are supposed to have an OBDII plug for access. Some codes are not readable with a generic tool.IE, if you are trying to read transmission codes or HVAC codes you might need a dealer tool.

Any coder reader will work. A cheap option is the Actron CP9575

The low oil condition is unrelated. It might just be using/leaking more oil than you think.. The noise is an exhaust valve solenoid issue as you stated.. The system is quite complex and I would suggest you have someone with experience look at it. You might double check that all the vacuum hoses under the hood are hooked up properly, a loose one can cause some noise as you suggested.

Inspect/Replace There can be slight variations in procedure from one model to another when replacing headlights. For instance, on some models the turn signal light assembly must be removed before the headlight can be replaced. Overall, however, the procedure does not differ much from the following typical instructions.
Make sure the replacement bulb is the same type and part number as the one that is being replaced.
Comparing the old and ther replacement headlamps. To Replace:

• Remove the headlight bezel retaining screws. Remove the bezel. If necessary, disconnect the turn signal lamp wires.
• Remove the retaining ring screws from one or both lights.
• Remove the retaining rings.
• Remove the light from the housing. Disconnect the wiring connector from the back of the light.
• Push the wiring connector onto the prongs at the rear of the new light.
• Place the new light in the headlight housing. Position it so the embossed number in the light lens is on the top.
• Place the retaining ring over the light and install the retaining ring screws. Tighten them slightly.
• Check the aim of the headlight and adjust it, if necessary.
• Install the headlight bezel. Secure it with the retaining screws.
• Connect the turn signal lamp wiring (if it was disconnected).

License plate lights

Switch off the ignition.

Loosen the screws with a torx screwdriver.

Carefully pull out the lamp housing.

Turn the bulb holder counterclockwise and pull it out.

Pull out the defective bulb and insert a new one.

Reinsert the bulb holder into the housing and turn it clockwise.

Reinstall the housing and screw it in place.

------------------

but if after replacing the bulb the bulb is not glowing then check the license plate bulb fuse :---

Fuse box in the passenger compartment
This fuse box is located at the far left side of the instrument panel. Extra fuses and the fuse removal tool are also stored here. When replacing a blown fuse, be sure to replace it with a new one of the same color and amperage (written on the fuse).The fuse number 31

Right front/rear parking lights, license plate lights its a 7.5Afuse.license plate light wiring harness.The hatch wiring harness is under the hinges on the hatch. There are 2 sides one side(right or passenger side) controls rear lock and wiper motor the other(left or drivers side) controls rear defrost, 3rd brake light and license plate light.

Thanks. keep updated for any more query.you can rate this solution and show your appreciation.

you cant shut it off unless its aftermarket and i dought it.one of the door switches is bad [door latch] or hood switch/motion sensor etc. it will be cheaper to take it to the dealer and have them nail it down to one component

There's actually an issue with the software in the Central Electronic Module that can cause this glitch on the '05-'06 models. There is an updated CEM software that fixes this. What happens is that it drops the key codes from EPROM memory. Sometimes they'll start again, sometimes they have to be towed to the dealer. The new CEM software cures the problem.

The message you should see is "start prohibited, try again". It's a known problem. This has to be addressed at the dealer as they are the only ones that can download the software. Tell them to reference tech net note 36-59.

No recall yet. It's just a tech note at this point. The reason looks to be that it's not a large enough number of cars affected. We get them in here, just not that often. The tech note was issued late in 2007 so it's been out there a while. I've personally seen more '06 models with the issue than '05s. '05 was the year they completely changed the central electronic module. A lot of the relays are now built onto the circuit board and cannot be replaced separately. It's a completely different setup than the '01 to '04 models

Hope helps to solve it.

hi depending on what vin number you have but on the illustrations i have it says the fuse box is located either in the engine bay area, or at the side of the dashboard, ie..open drivers door and there should be a pull off panel there, under that should be a fuse box, or look under hood/bonnet and there should be a black box up near the bulk head/ fire wall this will have the relays in as well as main fuses...hope this helps please vote thanks
