Hi Guys,
I have a Volvo V60 2012. It is a Japanese Import (so the dash is all in Japanese).
I have noticed this error keep coming up either when I unlock the car (without the engine being turned on), or after shutting down the engine.
I thought it was something to do with the battery (as the battery hasn't been changed since 2012), and had it replaced. After replacing the battery - it appears the issue is still appearing.
Anyone had any experience with what this error could mean?
Does the car start? The symbol means low battery so maybe the alternator isnt charging it. With the car off you should get around 12.5V, with the car running, you should get around 14.5V if you have a multimeter to check voltage with. Some parts places will check for you if you are unable or do not have anything to measure it with. Multimeters are pretty inexpensive and can save you a lot of hassle down the line. It is a worthy investment. If you arent getting proper voltage when the car is idling, the alternator isnt charging it enough. If the voltage of the battery is under 12.5 when the car is off, you might have gotten a bad battery, it happens.
Try what ES6T said first, I forgot all about that sensor
