Boost pressure reduction, continued

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.

Boost pressure can also be reduced to protect the engine from damage. If the knock sensors (KS) detect that the engine is knocking above a given threshold value, and ignition has been retarded and the air/fuel mixture has been enriched, the Engine Control Module (ECM) will reduce the boost pressure until knock ceases.

A reduction in boost pressure also takes place If There Is a risk of the engine overheating. If the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor indicates that the temperature has exceeded 118 °C (244.4 °F), the Engine Control Module (ECM) lowers the boost pressure to reduce heat generation.
