Some Volvo V70 owners report experiencing immobilizer bypass code issues that result in non-starting conditions and blinking dashboard lights. This can be indicated by the "Immobilizer - See Manual" message, suggesting that the vehicle does not recognize the key. Potential causes for this problem include a faulty or unrecognized key, issues with the ignition system, a malfunctioning Central Electronic Module (CEM), or a corroded starter wire. To resolve these issues, some owners have found success by removing and reinserting the key, performing the lock/unlock procedure to reset the immobilizer, or replacing the main engine relay if the problem persists. Systematic troubleshooting is essential to identify and address the specific cause of the immobilizer issue in the Volvo V70.
