Points to observe when replacing the control module
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.
CAUTION:
Wait two minutes after the ignition has been switched off. The main relay must be voltage free before
the control module can be removed from the car. If the engine cooling fan (FC) runs on after the ignition has been switched off, wait until it stops. Then wait a further 2 minutes.
CAUTION:
Always
check that the control module and control module box connector pins and sleeves are not bent or damaged. This may have caused the fault.
