how to clear the check engine light in my Volvo XC60 536 (2017-Present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery before beginning any work on the electrical system.

2. Address the Underlying Issue

• Repair or Replace Components:

  • Based on diagnostic codes, repair or replace faulty components (e.g., oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensor, spark plugs).
  • If any hoses are damaged, replace them with OEM parts.

• Reset the ECU (if applicable):

  • After repairs are made, reconnect the battery.
  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear all error codes.

3. Verification of Repair

• Start the engine and allow it to idle for a few minutes to check for any recurrence of the check engine light.
• Test drive the vehicle for a short distance to ensure the check engine light does not reappear.
• Re-scan the vehicle with the OBD-II scanner to confirm no codes are present.
