Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information
2004 Volvo V70 L5-2.4L VIN 64 B5244S6SECTION Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Information
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information ECM-641F
Condition
Adaptation of the reset valve (variable valve timing (VVT)) occurs when the engine is running in the event of fuel shut-off (for example, when driving downhill without the throttle closed). In the event of adaptation the engine control module (ECM) checks that the limit positions of the reset valve are reached.
If the reset valve limit positions are not reached during adaptation, the engine control module (ECM) interprets this as a fault and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-641F is stored.
Substitute value
- Shutting off the variable camshaft.
Possible source
Faulty signal
- Loose camshaft position (CMP) sensor
- Incorrect base setting of the timing belt.

- Reduction in performance
- The engine misfires
