Checking wiring

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 flywheel and carrier plate for damage.

Check the signal cables between engine control module (ECM) terminals #24 and #54 and engine speed (RPM) sensor terminals #1 and #2. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to ground according to Short-circuit to ground, intermittent faults . Check for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage according to Short-circuit to supply voltage, intermittent faults . Check for an intermittent short-circuit to each other and for intermittent open-circuits according to Open-circuit, intermittent faults .

HINT: With the ignition on, the voltage between engine speed (RPM) sensor connector terminals #1 and #2 must be approximately 1.8 V with the reading taken at the ground terminal.

Try a new engine speed (RPM) sensor if the above fault-tracing does not reveal any faults.
