CEL Miracle
Truck has had a 1490 code forever. It's a grounding issue somewhere, and I finally gave up tracking it down.
So, this morning, I fired up the truck and - for the first time in about two years - the CEL was not on. No codes. Stopped for coffee, turn truck off/on. Still no light. By the time I got to work the thing was in Ready mode. We'll see if this lasts.

Re: CEL Miracle
The test is good for a year, no?

Re: CEL Miracle
So one of the senior engineers at work stops me today, he too has an older Volvo. Two years ago the car failed its E-test, needed cat or cats. Yesterday it passes the new E-test, with a check engine light on apparently an O2 sensor due to the bad cats.
Not sure what this means as to pass - fail criteria but its good to know that a check engine light isn't an automatic fail.

Re: CEL Miracle
Truck passed the e-test for the first time in 4 years. CEL was going off and on for the last few weeks. Seems to be a temp and humidity thing - likes it when it's about 4*C and damp. Today was perfect.
As an aside - the knock sensor will not fail the test (for those that haven't relocated it.). The CEL needs to be off and the truck in READY mode - the KS doesn't trip the light so it doesn't matter.

Re: CEL Miracle
Good to know. My friend just inherited an X from his grandparents, and I warned him about the knock sensor issues. He said it passed so that's good.
