Hi
There are two things to be checked. The mass air sensor and then check the relay for the fuel pump. It is under the hood on the driver’s side.
Let us know if you want something more else accept the solution.
Thanks for contacting fixya.com

FIRST OF ALL YOU NEED A HAYNES OR CHILTON REPAIR MANUAL.IT WILL TELL YOU HOW TO GET TO HEATER CORE.AND YOU NEED TOOL NO.155 8957 DISCONNECT THE HEATER HOSES FROM HEATER CORE.AND YOU NEED A TORX 20 SCREW DRIVER TO REMOVE SOUND PROOFING PANEL TO DASHBOARD SCREWS.

You don't have a bundle of issues.
The check light tells you that a malfunction occurred.
Now you have to put a scanner on the connector under the dash and check for stored codes.
The ABS light,most likely,will show you have a bad Wheel Speed Sensor.

Get used to these type of issues.
You will have a couple a year on all vehicles,going forward

this problem is caused by a defective brake master cylinder, the seals are leaking that pressurize the fluid in the chambers of the cylinder, at 166.000 miles you have had a good run with part, they fail around 100,000-125,000 miles no matter the model.

Great question.

You don't remove the shifter, you have to remove the panel around it first.
You start by removing the coin holder then the stuff holder, they just pop off. If you have heated seats then you pop the buttons from bellow and unplug them. Pull the panel up carefully. Sometimes spilled soda that got into the shifter cover make it stick like glue. I use plastic wedges to not damage anything, You can pull it up half way or just take it all of. The e-brake handle cover pops off too and just pop it off at the center console.
While your there make sure to wipe it all clean and retrieve all the coins that fell in. lol

You need your car in the air so the jack.
Remove the tires so a 19mm or 3/4 socket to remove the wheels.
Its a 7mm allen head for the caliper bolts
then a screwdriver to separate the pads so you can remove them.
Then you need to push the caliper piston in. They make tools for that but you can use a big C clamp or even some big channel locks.

That's all you need. Don't forget the lube.

If the radio is original to the car then they dealer can look up your VIN in the computer and print you out a sheet with your warranty information and it has the code on it. The service writers can do it from the service drive.

If you just have the radio, then the parts department can look up the code.

The arms have metal balls that pop into a plastic sliders that are at eh bottom of the glass on two places. They have clips on the the side. you need to get them off first. Needle nose pliers work good for me. Then you can pop the arms out of the plastic sliders. Its not easy takes a nice amount of pressure to pop them out.

To get them in, I use pliers to pop them in then install the metal clips form the side.

Be extra careful. I did crack a window once.

Good luck

Just pry it off. Stick a mini screw driver behind it. Or apply pressure with your hands.
Just don't break the plastic holder. Then just press the new ones on.

Go to the dealer and get a new lock set installed. And remotes programed (not cheap).
Sorry to hear that.

Or you can just go to the dealer and get some keys made. Then sell it and get a 1998 its the same thing but made much better,

Make sure to change the home locks too because if they stole her wallet they have her address and her keys so they will come back and rob your home. This had happened to people i know.

Your car came with a Radio code Card. It slides into the manual cover. The dealer can get the code for you if you cant find the card by looking up your VIN and getting your warranty information.

Sorry...Main Volvo Dealer or a Radio Decoding Service only for Volvo codes

Most likely an ABS control unit, have the system scanned first.

Sorry for the delay.

Most of the time smell coming from heater is do to a heater core starting to leak, does it steam up the windows when the heater is on? is the passenger side floor wet? can you describe what it smells like musty or kinda sweet? well will be waiting to hear back from you thank you ,

think you will need a mechanic to have a look at the auto choke controls

The W button is for wet weather or slippery road driving. It provides increased traction. Only use when necessary. It reverts to off when the ignition is turned off.

try this b4 taking things apart... redexe/wynns fuel additive and using high octane fuel the computer will adjust running accordingly...

check your spark plugs and wires you may be runnning too rich because they have to be changed
