Signal Descriptions MCC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Volvo C70, 2001 Volvo C70, 2000 Volvo C70, 1999 Volvo C70, and 1998 Volvo C70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: A manual climate control unit may or may not be equipped with air conditioning (A/C) system.

Connector A; A1-6 

All values listed below should be measured between the respective terminal in column 1 (Terminal  ) and terminal B16 (ground) unless stated otherwise in column 4 (Other  ).
