V60 Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Failure

I'm having a strange issue with my 2022 Volvo V60 diesel. I'm getting an error message on the speedometer and the braking feels really poor. I ran a diagnostic and it's showing a brake booster pressure sensor failure. Could this be related to a recent brake bleed I had done? The car has 178762 km on it. Vehicle safety is my main concern, and I am wondering if I should be worried about the hydraulic brakes.

I also own a V60, although I don't remember which year. I vaguely remember a similar issue after some work on my brakes. Are you sure they bled the system correctly? Could be air in the lines.

That's what I'm worried about. Is 'air in the lines' just a guess, or did you actually experience that yourself? How did you fix it, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm not a mechanic. I remember similar symptoms, but don't take my word for it. I took mine to a workshop to get it sorted. Probably the safest bet in your case too.

Alright, thanks for the advice. I took it to a shop and turns out the brake system bleed was the issue and damaged the sensor. They replaced the pressure sensor and re-bled the brakes properly. Cost me 90€, but at least it's fixed!
