Open-circuit, permanent 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 is indicated by a loss of one or more functions.
Chafed and broken cables or terminals that have come loose are common causes of faults in electrical systems.
Checks:
- Disconnect the connectors at both ends of the cable.
Connect an ohmmeter between the ends of the cable.
The ohmmeter should read approximately 0 Ω if there is no open-circuit in the cable.
Always check the control module and control module box connectors to ensure that their pins and sockets are not bent or damaged, as this can cause faults.
Check pins and terminals particularly for this fault. See Check terminals visually .
