What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2017 Volvo XC90?

Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2017 Volvo XC90 often signals a serious fault that can risk catalytic converter damage, hybrid-system failure, or loss of driveability. For plug-in hybrids like the XC90 T8, a flashing indicator may point to severe battery management errors, inverter malfunctions, or critical charging problems. At Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood in Norwood, MA, we recommend stopping safely and contacting the dealership immediately if the light flashes. Our certified technicians will perform prioritized diagnostics to prevent secondary damage and expensive downstream repairs. We use Volvo-approved tools and OEM replacement components so you receive accurate repair, warranty protection, and long-term reliability. We also run comprehensive battery health checks for both the 12V and high-voltage systems, which helps determine whether a battery replacement or repair is needed. Look for current offers in our service specials, and remember you can schedule service online. Acting quickly reduces repair cost risk and keeps your XC90 performing as intended; contact Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood today for immediate support and transparent next steps.

2017 Volvo XC90 Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for the 2017 Volvo XC90 include oxygen sensor (O2) codes, catalytic converter efficiency faults, misfire codes, and hybrid-battery or inverter-related codes particular to the T8 plug-in system. Left unaddressed, O2 or catalytic issues accelerate emissions-system damage and can cost significantly more to repair—what begins as a sensor replacement can escalate to exhaust or converter replacement. Misfires can damage pistons and catalytic systems, while hybrid-specific faults may degrade battery state of health and driving range, increasing long-term ownership costs. At Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood we translate codes into clear repair plans, prioritize safety, and give cost-effective recommendations that factor in immediate repair and future value preservation. Our location in Norwood, MA offers quick access, comfortable customer amenities, and loaner options so repairs are convenient. We deliver OEM-quality parts, Volvo-certified technicians, and documented inspections that protect warranty status and resale value.

2017 Volvo XC90 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Volvo XC90 is sometimes possible after a confirmed repair, but a simple reset without addressing the underlying fault is only a temporary fix and may mask progressive damage. Our technicians at Herb Chambers Volvo Cars Norwood use Volvo-specific diagnostic equipment to clear codes only after repairs are verified, ensuring that the fault does not return and that warranty coverage remains intact. Choosing the dealership for reset and repair brings transparency—detailed reports, OEM parts, and technicians trained on Volvo hybrid systems. We explain why the light illuminated, provide an estimate, and discuss preventive steps such as battery health maintenance, software updates, or component replacements to reduce recurrence. We back repairs with warranty options and offer service financing so you can address the issue now and pay over time. Check for current discounts under service specials and schedule service online for a thorough inspection and certified reset that protects your XC90’s systems and value.
