A Main Dealer (or good Volvo Independent garage) can read the fault code that has caused the light to come on. They can also clear the codes from the car.
However, if what has caused the light to come on in the first place is not fixed (faulty Lambda sensor, other faulty sensor etc), then the light will be back on again.
You can also get a code reader for your car and read and/or reset the codes yourself, but again some remedial work is required to fix the issue causing the fault.
The sensor is usually placed in the exhaust pipe somewhere. There may be two sensors, one before the Cat and one after.
Without further details of the car (engine size, model year, saloon/hatch) finding further information is difficult.
when engine running , i took out msf sensor accidentally. Then lambda on ,
Lambda sensors. The 3 leg symbol (upside down 'Y') is the greek lambda symbol
The "upside down y" is a Greek letter Lambda. Volvo uses this symbol for their emission control system. The "Lambda Sensor" is an oxygen sensor in the exhaust system. I would look into a bad sensor. Good luck
I have the same car and had the same issue. the SOND light is your oxygen sensor.
Which sensor ???
I just disconnect the battery terminal for a few minutes and then connect it again and the Lambda light goes off. Emmanuel Vella.
I have 2 earlier 960's. The oxygen sensor - the lambda is situated on the catalytic converter, which is below the driver seat on a right hand drive car. It has a slight angle to it where it fits into the cat. To change it is quite straightforward. There are a couple of photos on my own website: wwww.glennsmart.btinternet.co.uk Just click on 'Volvo 960' in the drop down menu and then click on the button 'Go there!
A list of the warning light symbols for a Volvo v40 can be found in a manual for the vehicle. Each light has a different meaning warning of different issues.
