You need a technician with a diagnostic tool.. The thing about these cars is every time you do something you need to reset the counter on the cars computer.. This can only be done with a diagnostic tool

  • bridgefan Sep 10, 2010

    I have two questions regarding the Solution 1 above:
    1. If replacing the fuel fill cap had fixed the cause of the problem, is resetting the counter the only thing a technician has to do?
    2. If the fuel fill cap and refilling fuel with engine running are not the cause of the check engine light problem, what are the other causes if there is any?
    Thanks in advance!

Volvo s80 2001. Blinking check engine light but car runs fine. shot.

first: you better have the car checked by the OBD-diagnostic tool at a Volvo dealer. -this shows the error codes of the engine etc.
Normally a good mechanic does that BEFORE any replacement of a possible faulty component....!
there is also a small chance that your "check engine" light is wrong and needs to be reset.

Cylinder 3 misfire code on 2001 Volvo s80. Non turbo. Where is it located? What could it be? And what caused it.

Hello,
Checking fuel injection system, ignition system and components
In the event of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), that affect camshaft control or camshaft reset valve, these must be fault-traced first.
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates which cylinder has misfired: ECM3533

Check that engine oil level is correct.
Check the spark plugs, search for damage in the insulation and other damage.
Check ignition spark.
Check the function of the crankcase ventilation.
Checking fuel and residual pressure. Checking fuel and residual pressures See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust\Engine\Fuel Pressure\Testing and Inspection\Checking Fuel and Residual Pressures
Check if there is any air leakage. Check for air leaks in the intake system See: Powertrain Management\Fuel Delivery and Air Induction\Testing and Inspection\Air Leaks in the Intake System, Checking
Check that the engine seals tight. Compression test See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust\Engine\Compression Check\Testing and Inspection\Compression Test
Check flywheel for damage. I have also seen these ECU's fail.
Finally, one thing you can try is called a "hard reset" by disconnecting both battery cables and hold them together for about 3 to 5 minutes, not letting them touch anything else. After this hook them back up and take it for a test drive about 10 miles. The adaptive memory may reset things back to normal. Please advise

My volvo s80 check eng, light is on and the code is p0011 and (cam shaft postion sensor) the the abs and all other lights keep going on and off every time i start the car i need some help please help

Hi there,

Firstly, when starting the car, ALL warning lights should illuminate briefly - this is a self test to ensure these systems are working ok. When the Engine Check light remains illuminated, then a fault has been detected.

Code P0011 can be triggered by the following issues: Improper camshaft timing, wiring problems, continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber, faulty timing valve solenoid.

Due to the possible causes above, only an authorised Volvo service agent will have the correct scanning/diagnostic tool to identify where the problem lies.

I recommend you have the service agent carry out a further diagnostic...



Regards,

What is bulb position light failure? what is whistling noise mean once the car warms up

Bulb position light failure indicates that you have a burned bulb somewhere around the car. Check all of them. Brake lights, parking lights, flasher and so and so.

This is a very common problem with Volvo.

You could alo get this problem eventhough no bulb is burned. If it's the case, test each bulb contact in their socket playing with them. Make sure you put some electric grease on contact replacing the bulbs.

Check if there were a recall for your specific vehicule and if it has been done on yours. I know that during the years, some recalls were adressing this type of problem.

Regarding whistling noise during warm up try to remove oil filling cap during engine is running. if the noise stops it's probably the PCV that is blocked and need to be replaced. If it doesn't fix it, let us know and we will go more in depth.
Hope it helped
