Volvo V90 Reduced Engine Power Warning

No recent work, it did just pop up. I haven't checked the serpentine belt - I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, to be honest. What would a faulty belt look like? Or could it be the starter motor? What about voltage drop?

If the belt snapped, you'd know. Voltage drop could be many things but is a likely candidate. Given the symptoms and error code, I'd bet on the generator. Best get it to a workshop for proper diagnosis.

Thanks for the advice. I took it to the workshop, and you were right – it was the generator. Repair cost me 960€ Appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar. I've got a V90 too, and those symptoms scream generator problems. Any recent work done, or did this just pop up suddenly? Have you checked the serpentine belt that drives the generator?
