Re: CE light on 5 monthws. Last summer the light came on 5 days before I had to renew the emissions sticker. AutoZone scan said fault in the evaporative emissions system. No other clues.
After worrying and sneaking around for a month (we live in th far suburbs) with an expired sticker, we took the car to Volvo of Houston. They charged $100.00 to find the fault.
They said it was the something-or-other valve. Sits in the engine bay on the inner LH fender. For only $145 more they would replace it. We did that. Left the shop, CE light dark, drove directly to our emissions test site and got the renewal.
Two weeks later the CE light came back on. AutoZone scan said the same thing, fault in the evaporative emission system. They did not reset the light.
I think the dealer did not actually know what was wrong, they just changed something, charged me a small pile, and reset the light. So being royally P.O'ed, I just let it ride. Had the code indicated something more serious, I would have gotten it repaired.
Now, after the no-mo-gas rain dance, the CE light is not on. Why? BHSOOM
