Signal Too Low

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





Signal too low. Permanent fault

Checking voltage level
Read of the voltage level in the control modules.

Note! None of the motors should be operating when reading off.

The levels between the central electronic module (CEM) and the power seat module (PSM) should not deviate by more than a maximum of one volt. A small difference as a result of contact resistance is acceptable.





Are the voltage levels OK?
