Re: THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT on my volvo S80 COMES ON...
It won't detract until you ignore it long enough and the engine immobiliser fails and leaves you stranded.
Do as your car is telling you and get it to a Volvo dealer. Preventing the fault will likely cost less and certainly be less inconvenient and dangerous than having it occur whilst driving.
The check engine light comes only when the computer control unit (called the PCM) senses a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system, there are about 200 possible faults that turn the light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen and Autozone parts stores do this testing for free.
