Help (please) with Engine Check Light V70-XC70 1998

Good afternoon.
I'm new to "Brickboard" but a long time Volvo owner (an '84 240, and now a '98 Cross Country). I realize the "Check Engine" light is a common problem, but I need to see if anyone has had success in dealing with this issue. The "Check Engine" light has appeared, along with the car running rough, sooty exhaust, and a strong sulfur smell coming from the exhaust. Unfortunately, the local independent Volvo repair shop cleared the code #'s ("#231 and "#232") while doing the diagnostics and suggested that since the car was still under warranty, it be done at the local Volvo dealership. (The independent shop would be happy to do the work, but they also have to charge me.) The dealership says they can't do anything since the numbers have been cleared. Since the numbers have been cleared, the car has been running fine, but what do these numbers indicate, and is it a serious (time and $$$) repair to ensure it doesn't happen anymore? Has anyone else had this problem??
Thanks for any advice and suggestions!!
