Some Volvo XC60 owners have successfully turned off the "check engine" light by following a few steps. One method involves turning the key to the "on" position and holding down the odometer button for a few seconds until the warning flashes twice. Then, start the engine and check if the light has gone off. If this doesn't work, a visit to the service center may be necessary to reset the CEL using an OBDII scanner. Before resorting to professional help, try simple troubleshooting steps like checking for a loose gas cap, as any emissions leak can trigger the light. You can also recalibrate the onboard diagnostics by driving the car for 15-20 minutes at speeds above 25 mph, or by disconnecting and reconnecting the positive battery cable for the same duration.
To clear the check engine light on a Volvo XC60, you'll need a diagnostic tool to link up with the car. Once connected, you can use the tool to manually erase the code and reset the check engine light.
