This is a strange code that doesn't appear to have one definitive reason, it's a bit of "you have a bit of a problem, but we aren't sure". Just Answer dot com mechanic says it is the MAF Sensor.
have the codes ran on a scanner Advance Auto Parts Pep Boys Auto Zone They will all do it for free however federal regulations prevent them from clearing the codes, they can still tell you what is wrong with the vehicle, and even print out a list for you to go by

Your engine's computer is seeing data from the engine that it considers out of the normal on your vehicle. Any automotive repair shop will be able to scan the computer for the trouble code for you. Autozone will scan the code for free, however, you will still need to bring the trouble code print-out to a well qualified technician to be able to tell you what the potential problem may be. These codes can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to random misfire in the engine.
I have a 2000 Volvo S70 as well with the same code. Do you ever have trouble starting your car? I did and that's why I took it to the dealer. Appartently it's the code for the ignition immobilizer system in your car (part of the security system). Specifically, a part call the antenna ring. The antenna ring is the outer portion of your ignition switch on the steering column - the part that lights up and has the following printed on it: 0 - I - II - III. This part is actually a sensor that transmits the code stored in the microchip inside of your key. When this part goes bad it fails to transmit the correct key code to the computer, and cuts the fuel to the engine.
The dealer wanted to charge me $550 for a new antenna ring, two new keys, and software to program the car's computer with the new key codes. I purchased the antenna ring online for $50 and did it myself in 15 minutes - so easy. They claim that you can't replace the antenna ring without new software - lie! You only need the software if you are replacing the keys.
