Faulty Pulse Width Modulation (PMW) Signal

2004 Volvo V70 L5-2.4L VIN 64 B5244S6SECTION Faulty Pulse Width Modulation (PMW) Signal





Faulty pulse width modulation (PWM) signal

Checking components and wiring
Check the engine control module (ECM) and accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor connectors. Check for contact resistance, play and oxidation.
Check the signal cable from accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor terminal #2 to engine control module (ECM) terminal #B25 (#B35).
Remedy as necessary.

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








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on.
Activate the read off of the signals from the accelerator pedal (AP) position sensor.
Check that the value for both signals is approximately 8% when the accelerator pedal (AP) is unaffected and approximately 82% when the pedal is fully depressed.
