1993 Volvo 960 4D Wagon, AW30-43SECTION Code 3-1-1 (Speedometer Signal)
- Control unit is dependent on this signal for WOT enrichment, fan control, etc. A fault code will be set if speed exceeds 3390 RPM, load signal corresponds to part load and signal is absent for 3 seconds.
- To check speedometer signal, raise vehicle with rear wheels suspended. Connect Measuring Unit (999-3070 ) to ECU. See CONNECTING MEASURING UNIT TO ECUΒ . Connect voltmeter between measuring unit terminals No. 9 and 19. Turn ignition on. Spin rear wheels, and check voltmeter. Voltage should be 0.1-12.0 volts.
- If voltage is not present, check wiring between control unit and instrument cluster. Connect ohmmeter between measuring unit terminal No. 9 and terminal at rear of instrument cluster (Green/Orange wire). Ohmmeter should indicate zero ohms.
- If no reading is obtained, check wiring between instrument cluster and control unit. If reading is obtained, check wiring between instrument cluster and rear axle. On A/T models, check test mode No. 1 if speed signal fault is obtained. See TEST MODE NO. 1 under RETRIEVING CODES.
