Checking the cable harness
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volvo S40, 2003 Volvo S40, 2002 Volvo S40, 2001 Volvo S40, and 2000 Volvo S40. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between the transmission connector and the end of the appropriate solenoid cable. Shake the harness gently during the measurement to identify any possible loose connections. The ohmmeter should read approximately 0 Ω.
| Terminal | Solenoid | Terminal | Solenoid |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | STH/brown | 2 | SL/yellow |
| 3 | S1/white | 4 | STHG/blue |
| 5 | - | 6 | S2/black |
Replace the cable harness if the ohmmeter displays any other value. See Removing the cable harness and Connecting the cable harness to the control system .
