Signal Too High/Signal Too Low/Signal Missing

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





Signal too high/signal too low/signal missing

Checking the status




- Start the engine and run it to normal operating temperature
- Read off the fuel pump (FP) load.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent by checking the value of the fuel pump (FP) load (signal from the engine control module (ECM) to the fuel pump (FP) control module).
Check that the signal is approximately 35% (±5%) with the engine idling at operating temperature.
The fault is permanent if the signal is incorrect or the engine will not start.
The fault is intermittent if the signal is correct.










Continue - Checking components and wiring

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

Checking components and wiring
Check the pump control module connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Check the cable between Engine Control Module (ECM) terminal #B47 (#B57) and pump control module terminal #1. Check for an open circuit, short circuit to ground and supply voltage.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) may be caused by a defective pump control module.
