Computer Code
I have a 2001 S80 2.9..... The "Engine System Service Required" light with no apparent change in performance. It only comes on when the car is warm. I reset the computer and I get a code of "44" and "66". The dealer won't tell me what it means unless I bring it in an open my wallet. The only other thing I can add is the car has a small lull in power at cruising speed of 50mph. It is like "bounce" of the RPMs. I accelerate beyond that speed and it stops. Other than that the S80 runs awesome and smooth. I just had new tires installed....drives like a dream. Any diagnostic help would be appreciated!!
Thanks,
Brad

It could be that the car goes into a "limp home" mode where it "protects itself" by not allowing you to accelerate above a certain point. Think of it as a governor of some kind. Only problem is, depending on how the car feels that day, it could be 50mph, 35mph, or even 15mph like I am experiencing recently in my car.
Unfortunately, you'll probably need to take it into a dealer to have the codes pulled and analyzed for you. While an OBDII code reader can be helpful, it doesn't necessarily pull all of the codes from the system.
