I have a 1999 s80 2.9, For the last year and half I have had problems with the emissions warning light going on and off ( much more on than off). I have replaced all 4 emissions sensors and the problem has continued. The ride is fine and I generally do not have any other problems. IAnyone with similar problems or comments?
Thanks,
Gene
I have a 2001 S60 2.4T, and recently it has started doing the same thing. I have 100k miles on it. Its a "soft" code that the ECU is sending, so its not critical. I had my local shop pull the code from it and they told me that it was a catalytic converter code.
Instead of replacing sensors, why doesn't the dealer tell you what's wrong with it?

By law automakers are required to warrantee emissions systems for a certain period of time, at least 5 years I think, it's separate from the regular vehicle warrantee.
It sounds like Gene's dealer has been avoiding replacing the catalytic converter under warrantee.
or he is going to a local shop & not going to the dealer if the cat is bad it is covered in the us for 8 Years or 80K miles he should return to the dealer & have this complaint addressed if the cat is faulty they will replace if it is another component that is @ fault that is not covered by the federal emissions warranty then he will most likely have to pay for the repair if he is out of warranty
I had a similar problem, and it turned out to be electronic. My dealership wanted to replace the entire engine for the tune of $10K. My aftermarket import specialist fixed it for $2K (including a few other repairs other than the electronics).
