2000 Volvo S70 123000 miles not a turbo, just got this car 3rd day light came on. Was a one owner have all the service records.Hoping for a easy fix.
The easy fix? OK--here it is---remove positive battery cable--step on brake for 10 seconds, reconnect cable.
If it resets, get a code reader to see what the malfunction is. Remember---Volvo's remind you of oil change intervals by displaying that wonderful light!
BTW--at 123000 miles I would suspect the oxygen sensor is in dire need of replacement. Replace with Bosch only!

There is no way to answer the question about how easy it will be to fix until u have checked the engine trouble code(s) that turned the check engine light on, there are over 100 different faults that can turn on the light, some can be very easy to fix, even a defective gas cap can cause the light, but others are very labor intensive to track down, it is the labor that kills u on these problems, just to look at the problem is most likely $100-150, then u still have the repair, so $400-1000 is not unusual for a reapir bill, I know this because check engine lights was 90% of my work load at the dealer I worked at, no one else wanted to do it because of the amount of time and energy involved to repair many of the problem's that turned the light on.
