After a certain period of time, especially for used vehicles, these lights are just there because they are set off due to timers and distance driven.
My mechanic, an old guy that has been working on my Volvo for years (a European car specialist who mainly works on Volvos) said to just ignore them. My old station wagon is 23 years old now and I have two permanent warning lights on all the time. My mechanic just said "does your car run?" .... I said yes
"Do you have any problems with the car running?" ... I said no
"Do the warning lights bother you?" ... I said not really.
"Then don't worry about it"
I've been driving the car like that without problems for over five years.
I mean it could be a faulty o2 sensor that isn't completely broken, so it could still work but fuel consumption is shit.
They're a great place for little stickers that bring you joy at a glance, IMHO 🤣
