Re: Vida CEM swapping

Tomorrow I will test my TCM changes. In the meantime I have found this document which may help with figuring out some stuff. The below image is from TF-60SN but they mention the control logic is the same. https://i.imgur.com/ULweASp.png By also reading the patent document for the five speed more inf...

Re: Vida CEM swapping

I am pleased to announce I have disabled slip lockup. The slip lockup maps now become the default full lockup maps. There is only slight slip lockup during engaging of the torque converter and possibly during shifting, which is normal and required.

Re: AC condenser replacement

2008 S60 2.5T, 240k Over the past year, I've had to refill my AC refrigerant several times. It would last for a few weeks, but that's it. Took it to my local import (mostly Volvo) specialist and they detected a major leak at the condenser. Had it replaced for $1400 out the door. Just sharing this e...

Corrupt CEM Non Start Investigation and Repair Tutorial

Hi everyone, Thought I'd add a little tutorial for the P2 vehicles. For anyone who doesn't know me I'm an autoelectrician. I don't just play with wires like most, I dive deep into the inner workings of the flash files too for a better understanding. I work on Volvo's quite a bit along with other man...

Re: Essential tools for DIY Volvo care.

That's true, mine has a core of items from my HS Montgomery Ward tool box. They're still floating around in the drawers.

Re: 07 XC70 Accident - Replace Fender/bumper?

Have you contacted the offending driver’s insurance company? Just because your car carries a salvage title doesn’t mean they won’t give you some sort of settlement. A $1000 check would go a long way toward fixing it.

Re: Vida CEM swapping

vtl, what you think about STM32H743VGT6 MCU? I want to try to port your cracker to this one. As long as it runs at ~200MHz and has built-in (in SOC, not over SPI) CAN controllers it will do it. Something is already starting to form... photo_2025-02-17_23-04-27.jpg We built this miracle with CKaev I...

Re: What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

I just wish to say that while I was changing my auto transmission, I also decided to play God and open up the steering rack, which was leaking like a quart per several hundred miles or if not driven long distances over the course of say 10-14 days. I removed the input shaft, then when that is out, y...
