Ran out of gas, CE light flashed. Should it? S90-V90 1997

1997 965 wifemobile.

The wife called, worried, car did not want to run at all. She was 3 blocks away so I told her to come on home. Made it OK.

Later I took it to the nearest gas station. On the way I noticed that it didn't want to run, but did pick up for a bolck or so. The CE light began flashing regularly, like it was a special signal. No reference in the Owner's Manual.

Car quit 100 yards before the station, one red light away.

Everything OK now. Put in about 2 gallons gas, enough to get across the street and into the station. It took 20.3 gallons.

But - WHY the flashing CE light?

Has such a thing happened to you?

Then, upon getting gas and going on with the errands, I noticed that the CE light, which had been on since two weeks after the Volvo dealer "fixed" the problem last July, was no OFF. Yahoo !

Maybe it flashes while it is resetting? Maybe it flashes when the tank is empty?

Gee, my 1988 240 is soo much simpler.


Thanks in advance,

Bob
