DSA signal description
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.
All values contained below are between the terminal in column 1 and terminal #9 (ground), unless otherwise indicated in brackets.
DSA control module terminals #1 - #16 correspond to #31 - #46 on the breakout box.
NOTE:
It is important to connect the breakout box and check ground terminal before taking readings.
| U = | DC in volts (V) | f = | frequency in Hertz (Hz) |
| Ubat = | battery voltage | %duty = | duty cycle (pulse ratio) as a percentage (%) |
| Ulow = | Voltage approx. 0 V |
| Terminal | Signal type | Ignition on | Engine idling | Miscellaneous | Scrolling values Volvo scan tool (ST) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Power supply (from ignition switch) |
Ubat | - | ||
| #2 | Signal, wheel speed left front wheel (from ABS control module) | U ≈ 0 V - Ubat depending on wheel position. Frequency (f) increases with wheel speed. |
Pulsed signal (0 V - Ubat) with a fixed pulse ratio (%duty ≈ 50 %). | ||
| #3 | Signal, wheel speed right front wheel (from ABS control module) | U ≈ 0 V - Ubat depending on wheel position. Frequency (f) increases with wheel speed. |
Pulsed signal (0 V - Ubat) with a fixed pulse ratio (%duty ≈ 50 %). | ||
| #4 | Signal, wheel speed left rear wheel (from ABS control module) | U ≈ 0 V - Ubat depending on wheel position. Frequency (f) increases with wheel speed. |
Pulsed signal (0 V - Ubat) with a fixed pulse ratio (%duty ≈ 50 %). | ||
| #5 | Signal, throttle position (TP) sensor (from engine control module (ECM)) |
%duty ≈ 15 % at closed throttle position (CTP) (idling). f ≈ 50 Hz |
Pulsed signal (0 V - Ubat) with fixed frequency and variable pulse ratio (% duty). Pulse ratio (%duty) increases with increased throttle. |
3 | |
| #6 | Signal, DSA switch | Switch not moved: U ≈ 0 - 3 V below Ubat Switch moved: U ≈ Ulow |
Signal is grounded when the switch is pressed. | 8 | |
| #7 | Signal, stop (brake) light switch | Open: U ≈ Ulow Closed: U = 0 - 1.5 V below Ubat |
Stop (brake) light switch closes during braking and the control module receives a signal. | 11 | |
| #8 | - | - | - | ||
| #9 | Ground (ground via the engine control module (ECM), measured to battery negative terminal) | Ulow | - | ||
| #10 | - | - | - | ||
| #11 | - | - | - | ||
| #12 | Signal, wheel speed right rear wheel (from ABS control module) | U ≈ 0 V - Ubat depending on wheel position. Frequency (f) increases with wheel speed. |
Pulsed signal (0 V - Ubat) with a fixed pulse ratio (%duty ≈ 50 %). | ||
| #13 | Signal, load (TQ) (from engine control module (ECM)) |
U ≈ Ulow | f ≈ 33 Hz | Pulsed signal (0 V - Ubat) with variable frequency and pulse ratio (% duty). Frequency increases with engine speed (RPM), pulse ratio (%duty) increases with load. |
|
| #14 | Diagnostic lead | U = 1 - 4 V below Ubat Other values apply if the fault-tracing instrument is connected to the data link connector (DLC). |
- | ||
| #15 | Signal, request for torque limiting (to engine control module (ECM)) |
f ≈ 200 Hz | Pulsed signal (0 - 5 V) with fixed frequency and variable pulse ratio (% duty). | ||
| #16 | Control signal, DSA warning lamp | Lamp lit: U = 0 - 0.5 V Lamp unlit: Ubat |
- | 9, 10 | |
