Solenoid SLT current
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.
Only digital display
The value indicates the amperage passing through the solenoid circuit. A lower amperage gives a higher reference pressure, which gives a higher line pressure. Solenoid control is directly dependent on the throttle sensor signal. The higher the signal from the throttle sensor the lower the amperage through the solenoid and therefore the higher the line pressure.
Measurement range: 0.0-1.5 A
Normal value at closed throttle: approximately 1000 mA
