2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country Check Engine Light Codes

In Norwood, MA, Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood sees recurring diagnostic codes on the 2017 Volvo V90 Cross Country that commonly include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0304 (misfires), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and oxygen sensor faults. Left unfixed, these codes can lead to reduced fuel economy, increased emissions, drivability issues, and in extreme cases expensive repairs like catalytic converter replacement or engine damage. For example, a small oxygen sensor replacement typically costs far less when addressed early than the larger expense of a failed catalytic converter. A persistent misfire may initially present as a rough idle but can damage pistons, rods, and the catalytic converter if ignored, multiplying repair costs. Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood offers certified diagnostics and OEM parts to accurately identify the cause and recommend the most cost‑effective repair plan. Our technicians use factory software and proprietary tools to pinpoint intermittent faults and avoid unnecessary parts replacement, improving long‑term reliability and lowering total ownership cost.
