Diagnosis (Signal Too High, Permanent Fault)

  1. Checking ground lead. Turn ignition off. Wait for approximately 150 seconds (cars with immobilizer 245 seconds). Disconnect the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Connect an ohmmeter between air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor connector 1 and ground. The ohmmeter should read approximately 0 ohms. If ohmmeter reading is OK, go to step  3. If reading is NOT OK, go to step  2.
  2. Checking ECM connector. Turn ignition off. Air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor disconnected. Check ECM connector for contact resistance and oxidation and repair as necessary. With ECM connected, connect an ohmmeter between air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor connector 1 and ground. The ohmmeter should read approximately 0 ohms. If reading is OK, go to step  3. If reading is NOT OK, check A/C pressure sensor signal wire to ECM terminal No. B28 for an open circuit. After repair, go to step  6.
  3. Checking signal wire. Turn ignition on. Disconnect air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Connect a voltmeter between air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor connector 2 and ground. The voltmeter should read approximately 0 V. If reading is OK, go to step  4. If reading is NOT OK, check signal wire between A/C pressure sensor terminal 2 and ECM terminal No. B9 for an short circuit to supply voltage. After repair, go to step  6.
  4. Checking signal cable resistance. Turn ignition off. Disconnect air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Connect an ohmmeter between air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor connector 2 and ground. The ohmmeter should read approximately 10,000 ohms. If reading is OK, go to step  5. If reading is NOT OK, check wire between A/C pressure sensor terminal 2 and ECM terminal No. B9 for an open circuit. After repair, go to step  6.
  5. Checking the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Turn ignition off. Connect air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Start the engine and idle it. Turn air conditioning (A/C) switch on. Turn blower fan on. Select Volvo Scan Tool, or aftermarket scan tool, to read off the value of the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor signal. Voltage should increase when the air conditioning (A/C) compressor starts. If reading is OK, cause of the DTC has been loose connections in the air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor connector. Check connector for contact resistance and oxidation and remedy. Go to step  6. If reading is NOT OK, replace air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor. Go to step  6.
  6. After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied. Turn ignition off. Air conditioning (A/C) pressure sensor and engine control module (ECM) should be connected. Start the engine and idle it. Air conditioning (A/C) switch on. Blower fan on. Wait until the A/C compressor has started. Select Volvo Scan Tool, or aftermarket scan tool, to read off DTCs. If EFI-225 is stored they should have intermittent status.
