S60 Fuel Level Sensor Fault

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't really paid close attention to the fuel gauge during the stalling. Is there a specific test I can perform to check the fuel level sensor or its wiring before I assume the worst?

Considering the symptoms and the error code, it's advisable to consult a workshop. While a visual inspection of the wiring harness for damage is worthwhile, diagnosing sensor faults often requires specialized tools to interpret the data stream. Similar to checking the oil level on a dipstick, you need the correct tools to read the sensor's digital output.

Understood. I took your advice and brought it to the workshop. It turned out to be a faulty fuse, just as we suspected. Repair cost me 52€. Thanks for your help!

The fuel level sensor issue in your S60 is interesting. A defective fuse is a plausible cause, acting as a tripped circuit breaker, but the intermittent stalling suggests a potentially deeper problem. Have you noticed if the fuel gauge reading is erratic or inaccurate before the stalling occurs? Knowing that would help narrow down the possibilities.
