Checking wiring and components

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.

Check the system relay (2/14) base and engine control module (ECM) connectors for contact resistance and oxidation according to Contact resistance and oxidation .

Check for loose or damaged terminal pins.
