Car Forum / Volvo Cars / August 2006volvo 850 lamda
The lambda sensor is on continuously on my 850 2.5 non turbo. Can i simply take it out and clean it or will it need replacing. Is it possible to test it as I have a multimeter. Also, when I start the car the service light comes on for a couple of minutes and then goes out. Is this normal? Thanks in advance > The lambda sensor is on continuously on my 850 2.5 non turbo.

The lambdasensor light indicates a fault code is stored in the momory, it can be many things, many of them not related to the lambda sensor. The service light indicates its time to service the car. You can just ignore it or reset it. If you want help reading fault codes or to reset the light you need to write exactly what car you have, model and year. Niels Thanks for the info, my car is 850 2.5 non turbo Reg N473 MDF I don't know if it is 10 or 20 valve. Hope this helps Mike > > The lambda sensor is on continuously on my 850 2.5 non turbo.

Hope this helps > Mike If its the 10v it will say 'DOHC' on the plastic top cover, whereas if its the 20valver, it will say '20 valve'. Engine numbers on timing belt cover are B52502S and B52504S respectively. The lambda light (MIL) lit is not necessarily a fault with the lambda sensor- you'll need the computer codes read, cleared, car driven, and recurring codes re-read to be sure as to whats causing the problem. The service light being on means its time for a service! If the garage did not re-set the light during the service, it will still be on, obviously. Its normal for it to be lit for 2 mins then extinguish. Tim.. Thanks for the info, I have checked the car and I can say it is a 10 valver 1995 2.5 non turbo. thanks > > Thanks for the info, my car is 850 2.5 non turbo Reg N473 MDF I don't > > know if it is 10 or 20 valve.
