Default Timing Belt

Hello all,
Having already done a timing belt on my 2001 S80, i was well prepared for replacing the timing belt on my 2005 S60 2.5T. The hardest part and most time consuming was reinstalling the accessory belt. Lol
But I also knew that if I missed a tooth on the change, that an error code would be thrown as that is what happened on the S80.
So I caught my belt being off one tooth and adjusted.
Car started and runs with no issue. Ran it through my VADIS and no codes were thrown. Job done well, so I think.
It maybe me, but I feel that the car runs a slight bit rougher than before the belt change.
Am I correct to assume if I was off on the timing marks that it will throw an error as it did on the S80?
Anything on VADIS that will show timing degrees, etc...?

I found my problem. The cross sway bar over the top of engine was reinstalled incorrectly magnigfying the engines normal vibrations.
My error was that I reinstalled it while the right side of car was still jacked up. It was hard to reinstall at that point but I didn't think twice about it.
Now the car runs purrrrfectly.
