2010 Volvo XC70 3.2 Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2010 Volvo XC70 3.2 include oxygen sensor faults (which reduce fuel economy), misfire codes (which risk catalytic converter damage), and EVAP system leaks (which trigger emissions failures). Ignoring these codes raises repair costs: a failed oxygen sensor can lead to poor mileage and accelerated catalytic wear; misfires left unchecked often require expensive exhaust and engine repairs; EVAP leaks can cause failed emissions inspections and drivability complaints.
