Signal Too High

2004 Volvo V70 L5-2.5L Turbo VIN 59 B5254T2SECTION Signal Too High





Signal too high

Checking the status




- Ignition on.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent by reading off the signal from the fuel pressure sensor.
With the engine at operating temperature and idling, the signal must be approximately 400 kPa.
The fault is permanent if the signal is incorrect.
The fault is intermittent if the signal is correct.










Continue - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring
Check the fuel pressure sensor connectors. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A2 (#A2) and fuel pressure sensor terminal #4. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.
Check the ground lead between control module terminal #A60 (#A60) and fuel pressure sensor terminal #1. Check for an open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.
Try a new fuel pressure sensor if no fault is found during the above fault-tracing.

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




- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Start the engine and run it to normal operating temperature
- Read off the fuel pressure sensor signal.
Check that the fuel pressure is approximately 400 kPa with the engine idling at operating temperature.
