S40 Service Engine Light

Discussion in 'Volvo S40' started by WILLAIM ANDERSON, Sep 5, 2005.

  1. The Service Engine Light illuminates regularly on my S40. The Volvo tech
    told me to loosen the gas cap and retighten. The light will go out but only
    temporarily. It is approaching it's recommended maintenance mileage. Could
    that be why the light keeps illuminating?

    I had this problem on my 2000 S40. The htird time I brought the care in with this
    problem, I was angry, and the service manager decided to work on it himself. He suggested
    trying a new gas cap. As he put the new cap on, he commented that the design was a little
    different than the old one. The new cap fixed the problem. It seems that Volvo knows
    there is a problem with the cap that the car came with.
