On my 1999 model, there was two codes that popped up. Although they were not very descriptive as yours, the codes dealt with the car "running lean". I posted my two codes up on Brickboard and people suggested replacing the oxygen sensor & mass air sensor.

Luckily I knew someone at the local Volvo dealer and they pulled it up on their system (for free) and the guy suggested that I replace my front O2 sensor. I bought an O2 sensor from an online vendor (cheaper than dealer) and replaced it. The check engine light came on still and I checked it again...but this time, there was only 1 code left. After much more suggestions from people on brickboard, I replaced the Mass Air Sensor and now, there are no CE light.

If your codes are directly suggesting front & rear 02 sensors, I would assume it would be correct. If you want to save money, you can search online for the best price or try eBay

I'm not sure which one you would need though.
