Re: 2001 XC70 Blowing Fuse#8 and Accelerator Cut Off with Brake

I'm glad this forum has helped another member. I still have not figured out how the wire from pin#6 and the compressor coil connector is grounding. In your case, can you turn the compressor by hand to see if it had seized? A seized compressor pulley may have caused your belt to break. In my case, th...

Re: srs airbag light 2002 XC70

I know my icarsoft i906 scanner will not erase the SRS message on my '01XC70, even though the manufacturer says it will. If you are nearby , you can try it on your car. I'm in Whittier area.

Re: 2001 XC70 Blowing Fuse#8 and Accelerator Cut Off with Brake

Thank you again for the response. Yes, the TPS will probably needs replacing as soon as I feel symptoms arising. Since buying the XC, I've learned so much about the infamous ETM issues. We've already fixed the cut wires through the tailgate hinge (only 2 were in tact) and that seems to have fixed th...

Re: 2001 XC70 Blowing Fuse#8 and Accelerator Cut Off with Brake

BTW, the difference between the 2 TPS in the ETM is 0.5 degree. Is this a good way to tell that the ETM is still okay?

Re: 2001 XC70 Blowing Fuse#8 and Accelerator Cut Off with Brake

Thanks to all that have responded. I cannot believe it! Persistence does pay off. Found out why fuse 8 was blowing. The grey wire going from fuse box harness to the ac compress coil connector was grounding. So we cut the grey wire at the harness, then installed a new fuse and everything seems to be ...

Re: 2001 XC70 Blowing Fuse#8 and Accelerator Cut Off with Brake

Thank you for the responses. Regarding the ETM being the cause of the accelerator not working while brake is applied, I've read a faulty brake pedal position sensor can also cause the same symptom. Do you think this is a possibility? The car idles and runs smoothly (no surging, hunting, or bogging d...

2001 XC70 Blowing Fuse#8 and Accelerator Cut Off with Brake

Hello. We're having 2 major issues with a used XC70 we just purchased. The #8 fuse (AC Compressor/Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor) keeps blowing. It will blow when I crank the ignition and when I turn on the AC. The only way for the fuse not blowing is by slipping it in the fusebox while the car i...
