Check Engine light S70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Ray on  Fri Sep 15 00:34 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Hi, I have a 1999 Volvo S70 with 73K miles on it and when I started my car early this week, the 'check engine' light came on. This was not caused by filling up the gas tank. I took the car to my mechanic who is an independent. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the software to check the car that are 1999 or later. He reset the 'check engine' light and it came back on the next morning. The dealer is my only alternative.

My mechanic told me that some people don't resolve the problem with the check engine light and drive it regardless. But I am also afraid that it may be something more critical. Performancewise, it drives great. Has anyone had issues with this problem? Any words of advice before I take it to the dealer. Thanks in advance.
