Are you guys ready for this? I have a 2010 Volvo XC60 and it won't start. I press the start button and nothing. I get the following error messages:

1. DSTC Service Required.
2. City Safety Service Required.

I cant remove the key. It tells me to put the vehicle in park but it is. There is also a buzzing sound coming from the fuze box under the hood. I think its a relay because its not listed on the fuze diagram. I can pull the relay out and it stops buzzing. It only buzzes for a few seconds when you open the door or press the start button.

Is there some super secret method to reset everything so I can start the car and get it to the shop?

 

Did you try jumping it?

 

My XC 60 (keyless) didn't want to start. It made a few electrical noises, loads of warning messages/lights. A few electrical items worked such as air blower/radio but no electrical boot operation or central locking.

The long and short of it was just flat battery, Greenflag came out and jump started it, checked it out (alternators/loads etc) and all was fine.

I think I knocked the light switch with my knee when I got out (on to side light position), left it over night and killed it. I did think the car would disconnect loads automatically when the battery was being drained, but no.

I was concerned for my bank account when I saw all of the alarms as the warranty only expired 2 months ago!

 

My 2010 did this as well. Mine's not keyless so I'm not sure if that's the problem for you guys. I got it jumped and drove it to the dealer to find out that the sat radio computer something or other was not shutting down properly. They replaced the sat radio chip and it's all good.

 

Similar problem. 2010, XC60, 62k miles. When I tried to start it, it chimed six times, flashed the headlights, and dashboard lit up like a christmas tree. Then the DSTC message popped up and the message to put the car in Park. It was already in park.

I called road side assistance and they were sending a tow truck, then I stumbled on this forum (thanks!!). A neighbor was able to give me a jump start and I'm back in business.

Thanks Volvo Forum... but for all the messages and chimes and flashing couldn't the screen just say "Low Battery" ? Gees!
