Open-circuit, intermittent faults
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
An open-circuit in a cable will be indicated by the loss of a function (or functions).
Chafed and broken leads are common causes of faults.
Checks:
- Disconnect the connectors at both ends of the cable.
Check the cables visually according to Inspect terminals visually .
Connect an ohmmeter between the ends of the cable.
The ohmmeter should read approximately 0Ω if there is no open-circuit in the cable.
Shake the cable lightly and pull on connectors during measurement to locate the damage.
If the reading is not correct. Replace the cable and / or continue according to Contact resistance and oxidation .
Always check the control module and control module box connectors to ensure that their pins and sockets are not bent or damaged, this may cause faults.
Check pins and terminals particularly carefully.
