Onboard Diagnostic System
OBD II is part of your vehicle's computerized
engine management system. It stores diagnostic
information about your vehicle's emission con-
trols. It can light the Check Engine light (MIL) if it
detects an emission control "fault." A "fault" is a
component or system that is not performing
within an expected range. A fault may be perma-
nent or temporary. OBD II will store a message
about any fault.
Emission inspection readiness
How do states use OBD II for emission
inspections?
Many states connect a computer directly to a
vehicle's OBD II system. The inspector can then
read "faults." In some states, this type of inspec-
tion has replaced the tailpipe emission test.
How can my vehicle fail OBD II emission
inspection?
Your vehicle can fail OBD II emission inspection
for any of the following reasons.
•
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit, your
vehicle may fail inspection.
•
If your vehicle's Check Engine light was lit,
but went out without any action on your part,
OBD II will still have a recorded fault. Your
vehicle may pass or fail, depending on the
inspection practices in your area.
•
If you had recent service that required dis-
connecting the battery, OBD II diagnostic
information may be incomplete and "not
ready" for inspection. A vehicle that is not
ready may fail inspection.
How can I prepare for my next OBD II
emission inspection?
•
If your Check Engine (MIL) light is lit – or was
lit but went out without service, have your
vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, serviced
by a qualified Volvo technician.
•
If you recently had service for a lit Check
Engine light, or if you had service that
required disconnecting the battery, a period
of driving is necessary to bring the OBD II
system to "ready" for inspection. Two half-
hour trips of mixed stop-and-go/highway
driving are typically needed to allow OBD II to
reach readiness. Your Volvo retailer can pro-
vide you with more information on planning a
trip.
•
Maintain your vehicle in accordance with your
vehicle's maintenance schedule.
Booking service and repairs
Connected Service Booking (CSB) makes set-
ting up a time for service, maintenance and/or
repairs directly from the vehicle quick and con-
venient.
Prerequisites
•
The owner (primary driver) must have a valid
Volvo ID. See Volvo ID (p. 22) for additional
information.
•
The vehicle must be connected to the Inter-
net using a paired Bluetooth
®
cell phone.
See your Sensus Infotainment supplement
for information on pairing a cell phone. On
models equipped with Volvo On Call (VOC)*,
you can connect to the Internet using your
separate VOC data plan. Refer to your sepa-
rate Volvo On Call manual.
•
By default, the retailer where you purchased
your vehicle will be your preferred (primary)
retailer/Volvo authorized workshop who will
perform service and repairs on your vehicle.
To change the preferred retailer, go to Dealer
Locator at volvocars.com and select a
retailer, click on Service Scheduler and book
an appointment at the new preferred retailer.
