Heya, glad to help! Since you've not done any mods recently, it's unlikely the problem stems from there. A strange problem like this can surely be baffling. As you mentioned, your ride has been smooth since the last service. So, a coding issue might indeed be the suspect here. But sometimes, minor glitches like this can also be due to low battery power or some faulty sensor. Also, another thing comes to mind - have you recently been through some pretty cold weather? It sometimes messes with the electro-mechanisms in the car. But again, these are all just speculations. Just sharing from my experience and what I've heard. Will definitely suggest having it properly checked by a professional. Hopefully, it's nothing major. Keep us posted on the outcome. Good luck!

Cheers for the insight. No extreme cold weather recently and the battery seems to be in good shape. I'll take your advice and get it checked out by a professional. Hopefully, it's as simple as a coding issue, fingers crossed! Appreciate your willingness to share your experiences, it's given me a good starting point. I'll make sure to update on what happens next. Cheers!

Hey there, just sharing my two cents. I've got a 2010 Volvo XC90 Diesel and faced a similar issue a couple of months back. I'm no expert with cars, but AM quite handy overall. I had the friendly folks at my workshop look into it. The trouble turned out to be a coding issue on the vehicle, nothing serious. They had it sorted for me with a quick re-coding exercise and it cost me just about 75 Euro. Quite a relief, to be honest. But to be more specific, could you provide details about any changes or modifications you've recently made to your wheels? That might help narrow the issue down. Cheers!
