Dunno on wheels, I run "standard" Volvo rims on my vehicles. Not sure how you're testing TPMS. If you have a tool that can trigger the sensors, trigger one then press the "show data" button in an individual applicable UEM window on VIDA to see if you return a value for ID and pre...

If I'm interpreting your question of “direct” versus “indirect” correctly, the first is a permanent physical sensor interpreting individual tire pressure (with or without a temperature differential) and the second is inferred pressure as a function of individual wheel characteristics (circumference ...

I'll try and encapsulate what I think I read above, please correct me in anything I leave out- ... as I was an hour into driving it…, the car jolted hard- I mean it felt like the engine fell right out of it. It lost all power and lots of thick black smoke poured from the engine bay. The car does sta...

No reason why not, the site- https://www.max-sensor.com/s/MAX-SENSOR ... 02022.xlsx has a vehicle coverage list which says it will (notes both 315 and 433 as applicable).

To avoid further guessing and since I'm the original poster, I'll re-paste the VIDA verbiage that was in the Swedespeed link in subpost #3 and note the issue as SOLVED: The [TMPS] system covers the upper electronic module (UEM) (4/70) and the sensors in the wheels. The sensors in the wheels are acti...

One reference- https://www.swedespeed.com/threads/rear-differential-whine.219929/ , there are a few more on the internet. Pinion bearing failure is not that uncommon, there are rebuild kits available with a few write-ups and there are range Range Rover techs familiar with the repair (rear diff is sh...

Volvo key has an RF transponder embedded for authorization (antenna ring around the ignition switch, UEM does the check). Exactly as you describe, key will turn in the ignition lock but engine starter will not engage without the key transponder being programmed to the vehicle. The remote is a separa...

Thanks for the background, everything makes perfect sense now. I've only owned MY05 onward so have had experience with the integrated key/remote. I'm not sure what your key looks like but if it's something like in the link- https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=61212 , it could be...

If it's one of these then you're good. If it's not, post the PNs and someone can clarify. There's no difference I can see between th...
