Hi All, I have exactly the same car and exactly the same error codes. In addition to the error code, in my car I experience the behaviour described here: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php? t=168829 Anyone has any idea on what the problem could be? Thank you very much in advance.

Bazbart giv us this answer: "Hi, The car is long gone now. I got the pedal changed but the garage never updated the software initially. There was no change. I eventually brought it to a Volvo garage in another town and explained that the pedal was changed. They updated the software and they also updated the Volvo ecu software and after doing that it drove perfectly. I hope that helps." Maybe that can help?

Hello, yes I saw that answer from the forum I linked. Nonetheless, that refers to code P1577 only and not to the "combination" of P1577 and P138B. I was wondering if anyone had the exact same issue we are facing, and found a solution. Thanks
