Overhaul Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hi all, only second post. Please bear with me here, I'm having trouble with the Engine System Service Required . My car is a 2001 S60 Volvo Base non turbo . I have done a lot of reading on all the sites to see if I could do this with out bothering anyone about this. My cruise control works perfect so I don't think it is the brake pedal position sensor that is causing it to come on. In fact everything is working fine except for the message . Every time I get the oil changed the Engine System Service Required goes out. Then after 3 restarts the message comes back on the dash. The last time I had it changed I asked them to leave out 1 liter from full and they did, but it did not work it came back on again. So I put the liter of oil in after I got home. I had red where the oil to high on the dip stick would make the message come on. So I'm wondering if I should take out about 2 liters to see if the message goes out. Then I red about the mass air flow sensor being unplugged would have made the massage come on too. So I unhook it drive around till the engine light comes on and then plug it back in and clear the codes. My ETM may be the reason I'm not sure but I hope not $600. I read the codes in the message center and it says ECM set, CCM set, CDM set, DDM set and ETM set. What has me stumped it that it goes out when they take the oil out of the engine. Any thoughts or help here will be muchlly appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran9690 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 What codes are posting and in which modules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhaul Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 There are not codes for the standard OBD11 to read, not engine light on. Volvo service center is 300 km. from my house , if I need there Volvo scanner it could be a wail before I ever get it scanned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran9690 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 If the engine system service required message came on, it would at least post a code as a pending fault. a decent code reader/scan tool would be able to give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhaul Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Thank you for the reply Fran, I will try to get a scan with a better OBD11 reader and see if they can get a code to come up. Mine is only $100 one. Maybe a more expensive one will do the job. I found out to day that I do not have to start the car to get the message to come on. I cleared the message with a OBD11 scanner and then I turned the key to num.2 position and off again, 3 times and it turned the message on again.

Fran9690 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 At my dealer, we check codes for free for any warning message or warning light. If it's something really simple, we let you know there what it needs or where we need to start. If we need to go further into the diagnosis, then we ask for the customer to authorize diag time that they will have to pay for. You should call around some Volvo dealers in your area and see if they do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overhaul Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Thanks you for your support on this with me. There is only one dealer in nova Scotia and they are 300km. from me. The last time I was there this winter in February I had to get them to change a fuel sending unit in my fuel tank and know joke about it , it cost me $780.00. They are very expensive to go to. I had a full tank of gas at the time so they took out a 1/4 of a tank and charged me $50.00 to discard the gas. And I lost that gas which was worth $30.00 then. So I have an appointment with a teck guy with a Snap on scanner he said it cost him thousands. So it should read something. I will post back when I get some results.

Fran9690 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 They charged you to discard the fuel? What a joke. We drain the fuel from the tank into a container before we replace the fuel pump, but after we put the gas back in the car. What you came in with is what you leave with. The repair is fairly expensive, $780 is about right. We charge 4 hours labor and whatever the cost of the pump is, which is not cheap either.That scan tool should work to get you started in the right direction. My personal scan tool is a Matco one and when I read Volvo's it's just as good as VIDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
