XC40 Gear Display and Cruise Control Problems

I'm having a weird issue with my 2019 Volvo XC40 hybrid. It's got about 37k km on the clock. The other day I started getting an error stored in the error memory. Then I noticed the gear selection wasn't showing in the speedometer, and the cruise control stopped working. Now sometimes it just won't start at all! I scanned it and I'm wondering if a bad clutch pedal switch would cause all this chaos? Anyone seen anything similar? I even wiggled the cable and plug and it seemed to help for a short time, so I suspect the cable or plug connection of the component is defective.

Summary of the thread

The problem is suspected to be linked to a faulty clutch pedal switch or its connection, as indicated by error codes.

That's a strange combination of issues! I had something almost identical on my XC40 a while back. Same symptoms – no gear display, cruise control packed it in, and the intermittent starting was driving me nuts. Did the error code point specifically to the clutch switch?

Yeah, the code's definitely pointing towards the clutch switch. You mentioned 'almost identical' – did it turn out to be the switch itself, or something else in the end?

For me, it was the clutch switch connection, just like you suspected. I cleaned the contacts but it kept happening. Honestly, after messing with it for an afternoon, I bit the bullet and took it to the shop. They replaced the switch and, touch wood, it's been perfect since. Saved myself a bigger headache in the long run. I spent 95€ in the end.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like I'm on the right track, but might be better off letting the pros handle it. Think I'll book it in this week and get that switch sorted. Cheers!
