Volvo 850 GLT Estate 1995 warning light?

[jabelite]

Hiya,

I have a 1995 Volvo 850 GLT Estate with no handbook.

A warning light has come up on the dash and I dont what it means.

It is a green triangle inside an orange box,

Inside the green triangle there is a black symbol that looks like an upsidedown "y"

This warning light is right next to the service warning light.

Can anyone tell me what this warning light means


Thanks.... Jabelite

It is to do with the emissions the symbol showing is for the lambda. I would see if it clears first as they can be a little temperamental. Other wise get it checked at a garage if you are worried.

My long-expired Greek tells me that is Lamda (though I could well be wrong!). I guess it's telling you the lamda sensor needs attention. What now gets swept up under the heading of Engine Management. Either a dealer or a good garage with the right equipment should be able to establish exactly what the problem is.

It's the Lambda (Oxygen) sensor warning light, it may have been running a bit rich and may clear, if not you'll have to get it checked at a dealer.
