smog control test, S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Sun Nov 9 18:37 CST 2003 [RELATED]

In Nevada now and Calif. previously, the smog test for some Volvo models requires some kind of drive cycle to set the sensors (not just to warm up).
The local dealer wants $300 to go thru the cycle. What is the cycle? I am told it involves going thru the cycle twice. This must be happening/have happeded in other states.

    Ask the dealer for these TSBs:

    2334 020705 Emissions - OBD II Readiness Codes Update
    2230059 020701 Emissions - Revised OBD II Readiness Code Resetting

    You can also get them from wwww.alldatadiy.com (but it is $25 for
    a one year subscription; I find it worth it).

    Here is a previous post that showed up after a search on the TSB
    number with the procedure:

    You might also need an OBDII redear to confirm settings after the
    procedure since I have heard it does not always work. Pep Boys auto
    stores are rumpred to read codes for free.

    Did you fail a test? If you ave been driving the car for some
    time without the OBDII being reset then you should not have
    a problem.

      Ray N.
      Thanx for the info. This hassle is frustrating and necessary only because of the bureaucracy' unnecessary and invalid testing system.
