1998 v70r 'fault in the engine electronic system'

[idwal67]

drove the car to work today and when I came out to go
back home the light on the dash under the handbrake light stayed on.

when I check the hand book it says "fault in the engine electronic system"

can anyone make any suggestions on what to do now - as am a complete novice when it comes to car mechanics?

thanks

Was it staying on with the car running or off?

Maybe it is the Alternator if the car is running.

you need to get the code read by dealer who tell you whats wrong

Or any good garage will do it as Volvo will charge you £25 for the pleasure.
You could also buy a code reader (as lots of Volvo owners do) and read the codes yourself and post the errors here for assistance

thanks to all who replyed - I will take to my local mechanic
and see what he can do for me.

fault light is on when engine is off and still on when engine is running.

thanks again
