    I see a new warning light on the display of my 1998 S70. It's an orange
    square, with a green triangle, with symbol that looks like a Lambda (or a
    fallen "T").

    It's not listed in my manual. It came on last week during a really cold
    spell (-25 deg Celsius). What is it and was it in any way triggered by the
    cold?

    It means the engine management has detected a fault. Possibly due to a
    sensor going slightly out of tolerance during the bad weather.

    Have the code read by someone who has a OBD scan tool and / or dealer to
    determine whats up.

    That's the lambda light (which is why it looks like a lambda of course)
    which is the US "check engine" light. Us neglected guys in Canada get
    US manuals, but international symbols. You need to go to a garage that
    has an OBD-II code reader, which should be just about every place these
    days.

    NOTE: new address!!
    Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.
    (But I check the newsgroup more often than this email address.)
