Sorry, I could have sworn that he specifically requested the ETM connections and connector layout.

But as Jimmy merely criticized, and did not attempt to provide the ETA diagrams, here they are:

The p0863 code is a communications issue between the TCM and the ECM, the TCM and the CEM, or maybe the BCM stomping on the bus, and fouling things up for the other modules. (See communications network diagram for a 2004 v70 below) But it would be strange to ONLY have a p0863, and also have the gaug...

The only time I saw anti-skid warnings on my 2004 v70, it preceded a wide range of faults and warning lights, and was solved by removing the metal RFI shield from the CEM circuit board, and (perhaps overkill) adding heat sinks to both of the chips that are said to overheat in the CEM. As the heat si...

As most Volvo wagon owners know, the fellow who owns a Volvo wagon is everyone's best friend when something bulky needs moving. But - how big a thing will fit? In a P2 V70, you can easily haul 8-foot long, 2 foot wide IKEA wall units by removing the rear passenger seat bottom, folding down the rear ...

Sorry to be so long in reply, the motor linkages were the culprit. By disassembling both sides, and comparing the motion of each under identical CCM settings, the linkage issue was resolved. The L-shaped arms were the issue, they were not in their "tracks" in the disk that is rotated by th...

In May, I got a few "Loose Gas Cap" warnings from the DIM on my 2004 v70. The gasket looked worn, so I ordered a new one - not a Volvo part, a 3rd party part. But the replacement was U-shaped with the closed part of the U against the plastic circumference of the gas cap. The original was a...

Clicking on "VCT-2000" is paying homage to those of us who lurked in back alleys and obtained the software by offering illicit hallucinogenic substances in exchange, and then spent hours working out the cable configurations, as cables for theses beasties were absolute unobtanium. I must ha...

I had to use VIDA again, recently, and I longed for the easy-to use reference features of VADIS, where one could, without any connection to a car, peruse and print out the exploded diagrams and part names/numbers of any assembly one was working on. So, below are the notes from my successful creation...

This all starts with a "major evap leak". There is a VIDA test that you can run in "vehicle communication", or you can just drive around for a few hundred miles and the test will run on its own, throw a code and light the friendly CEL. First off, your VIN tells you which evap sys...

Quoting the above: "If the catalytic converter is bad, the post-cat oxygen sensor will mirror the post-cat oxygen sensor."

I think that this should have been "If the catalytic converter is bad, the post-cat oxygen sensor will mirror the PRE-cat oxygen sensor."
