XC90 Uneven Idling Defective Engine Mount

My 2017 Volvo XC90 with a gasoline engine has been throwing some codes lately. Getting uneven idling and the error memory points to a defective engine mount. I suspect a dodgy cable or plug connection. Anyone else seen this?

A 2017 Volvo XC90 was experiencing uneven idling, with error codes indicating a defective engine mount. The issue was suspected to be related to a faulty cable or plug connection. After a workshop diagnosis, the problem was confirmed to be a faulty cable connection on the front right engine mount, which was repaired, resolving the idling issue.

I had a similar experience with my XC90. Engine mounts can be tricky things, like the shock absorbers of your engine. Was the error message specific about which mount? There are a few of them holding that engine in place.

Good point. The error doesn't specify which mount. Just that it's engine-mount related. Any tips on narrowing it down before I start poking around?

In my case, the vibration was the giveaway. It was like sitting on a washing machine during spin cycle. But without a specific code, I'd recommend taking it to a trusted workshop. Let them diagnose the exact faulty mount to avoid unnecessary replacements. They should have the right equipment to check.

Thanks. Workshop diagnosed it – faulty cable connection on the front right engine mount. 95€ and it's running smooth again.
