'Check Engine' Light S70

posted by  someone claiming to be MN Tom on  Sun Jan 6 11:19 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I just found this forum and it's my first post.

I bought a '98 S70 two days ago. I haven't picked it up yet because the owner said the "Check Engine" light came on and she is going to have it looked at by her dealer prior to my picking up the car. Question: What are the problems that are signaled by the light? Should I be concerned about buying the car?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Was expecting a more expert brickboarder to help you, but guess not. So I'll tell you what I can.

The check engine light can indicate a WIDE range of problems, anything from not securely tightening the gas cap to a misfiring engine. You'll have to ask what the codes referred to for this particular lighting. I don't believe it should concern you, though, unless it turns out to be something major. (most commonly it IS a loose gas cap)

Good Luck!

Can you tell me how to turn off the 'Service' light on a 2000 S70? If so, please provide a step-by-step listed procedure.

Thanks.
