Signal Too High

2007 Volvo XC90 AWD L6-3.2L VIN 98 B6324SSECTION Signal Too High





Signal too high

Checking components and wiring
The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the central electronic module (CEM) registers that the signal on the cable to the driver's seat position sensor is too high.
If the fault is intermittent, it has been registered previously but is no longer present. Intermittent faults can be caused by interference at start up or can be a different type of fault which occurs on different occasions. The fault is evaluated depending on how it occurs.
Check the connectors on the central electronic module (CEM) and seat position sensor. Check for contact resistance and oxidation. Check for damaged or loose connections.
Check the connectors between the central electronic module (CEM) and the seat position sensor. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage.
Take readings between:
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal D25 (#25) and seat position sensor terminal #1
- Central electronic module (CEM) terminal D10 (#10) and seat position sensor terminal #2.
Remedy as necessary.
