Problem overview

Some Volvo C70 owners report experiencing serious issues when the "Check Engine" light illuminates due to low oil pressure, indicating a fault detected by the Engine Control Module (ECM). These owners note that low oil pressure or oil level can trigger the warning light, potentially leading to engine damage if not addressed promptly. Ignoring these warnings may result in oil leaks, burning oil smells, and ultimately costly repairs or engine replacement. Additionally, the no-oil pressure warning signal serves as a critical indicator of system malfunctions that could lead to overheating and more severe problems. It is highly recommended that owners seek immediate assistance from a specialist to diagnose and resolve the issue effectively when faced with this warning.
