Default low battery mssage

Hi all,

Volvo XC60 D4 2L Diesel MY 2012:

every time i switch the engine off and let the radio on, a "low bettery" message appear and the system is shutting down in 2 minutes.
but the car start normally after. so i think is a wrong message.

to be sure, i changed the battery, the problem still there.

the diagnostic tool reveal some voltage errors.
is any experiencing this problem ?

Take a look at the "Alternator" thread. It has a video on how to reset the error message.

Hope this helps.

But you should also get the battery tested.

That is common if the wrong battery is installed in the gas engine cars. ( A size 48/h6 instead of a 92/t7) Not sure what is specified for the diesels. The battery monitor also needs to be reset when changing a battery, or the monitor can be bad. - Easiest reset is with VIDA or a compatible scan tool but is can be reset without (there's a utube out there)
