2016 Volvo V60 Check Engine Light Codes

The check engine light on a 2016 Volvo V60 can indicate a range of codes from simple to severe. In Dallas, Park Place Volvo commonly sees codes related to oxygen sensors (P01300), catalytic system efficiency (P0420), misfires (P0300 series), and EVAP system leaks (P0440). If left unattended, an oxygen sensor issue increases fuel consumption and can damage the catalytic converter, a repair that is significantly more expensive than addressing the sensor early. A misfire thats ignored can lead to engine damage and costly rebuilds. EVAP leaks can cause failed emissions tests and ongoing drivability issues. At Park Place Volvo in Dallas, TX, our certified technicians read codes with factory tools, explain the exact implications of each code, and recommend OEM repairs that reduce long-term ownership costs. We emphasize transparency: you receive a clear estimate, the benefits of OEM parts, and an explanation of how prompt service improves fuel economy and vehicle longevity.
