Re: Check Engine Light on? V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Andrew Burbank on  Mon May 14 05:26 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Check to be certain that you've properly screwed the fuel cap on the filler. If the cap is cross-threaded, it will generate a fuel system fault and turn on the 'check engine' light. This seems to catch a lot of new owners of V70/S70. (If that is the problem, just drive it -- after a certain number of starts with no errors, the light will go out.)

If that's not it, the dealer will need to pull the fault code and tell you what's wrong.
