It does not come on all the time but usually after been driving for a few minutes.
Sounds like it might be the gonculator . It's a device in which processes goncules for the gonculatory process; an inherently important component of the internal combustion engine. The gonculator is a fairly inexpensive part and is labor intensive and costly to install. Hope this helps!!
You can only check in hidden menu which modules have some errors (DTCs). Then you need to visit your Volvo dealer.
Try getting your car serviced

I had exactly the same problem on my UK 2001 S60.
It was caused by the throttle control housing gaskets not being serviced properly and consequently the entire housing had to be replaced - not a cheap job -and a valuable lesson learned - use a reputable volvo specialist to service your volvo - I didn't and I learnt the hard why! only a volvo specilaist would have known about this I went to several other main street garages & none of them could even diagnose the problem let alone fix it. Although they did do numerous other things first before they gave up - ie replaced titanium spark plugs.
Before it stoppped running altogther and went into "limp home mode" there were tell-tale engine/throttle surges when the car was idle, but in gear.
It is now running "like new" & I will never get another garage to service it, as this could have been avoided - however they can also wear out after about 10years - so my bad services just made it happen sooner!
I hope this helps!
SOURCE: message system reads "engine system maintenance required"
WHAT HAPPENED IS WHEN YOU SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED YOU (RESET THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER) AND THE SERVICE LIGHT SHOULD GO OUT AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING
SOURCE: service engine message on message center
The fuel pump which is located in the fuel tank beneath the back seat has gotten bad. Consider replacing it.
Cheers and rate this solution.
SOURCE: what does power system service urgent message mean
Posssible charging system fault. Alternator/battery etc. If the battery is not charging and you use vehicle it will breakdown

Hi,
This is probably due to a problem with the swirl flap actuator arm - if you remove the top of the engine cover (the plastic bit) and look at the top, left front of the engine, do you see a plastic arm (approx 70 - 100 mm long) disconnected?
Regards,
