Checking the 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 engine speed (RPM) sensor resistance. The resistance must be between 250-350 Ω.
Check the signal cables between engine control module (ECM) terminals #24 and #54 and engine speed (RPM) sensor terminals #1 and #2. Check for a short-circuit to ground or supply voltage, for a short-circuit to each other or an open-circuit according to Open-circuit, permanent faults . Remedy if necessary.
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.
