System Overview: Signals

2009 Volvo XC70 BaseSECTION Signals

The table below summarizes the input signals to and output signals from the suspension module (SUM). The signals are divided into directly connected signals and CAN communication. The following illustrations display the same information with the Volvo component designations

Input signals Output signals
Directly connected: Directly connected:
  • Height sensor, suspension (7/118, 7/119, 7/120, 7/121):
    • measures the vertical position of the suspension, individually for each wheel.
  • Acceleration sensor, body :
    • measures the body's vertical speed change.
  • Switch :
    • driving mode or can be selected.
  • Valve deployment, shock absorber (8/20, 8/21, 8/22, 8/23):
    • solenoids in the shock absorbers.
  • Switch (3/225):
    • selected driving mode indicated.

  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
