Faulty Signal or Signal Missing

2004 Volvo S80 L6-2.9L Turbo VIN 91 B6294TSECTION Faulty Signal or Signal Missing





Faulty signal or signal missing

Checking the connectors and components
Check the battery voltage.
Check the charging function of the generator (GEN).
Check the fuse before the circuit. If the fuse is blown, check the circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Check the cable between system relay terminal #5 and control module terminal #A17 (#A17). Check for an open-circuit.
Check the engine control module (ECM) and system relay connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Remedy as necessary.
Try a new system relay if no fault is found during the above fault-tracing.

Hint: Read off the voltage from the system relay to the engine control module (ECM).

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.




- Ignition on
- Read off the voltage from the system relay to the engine control module (ECM).
The voltage must be approximately 12 V.

Information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing

No - Attempt New Test
