Is this a bad Climate Control Module? Or Ignition switch?

Post by 01V70t5 »

Hey, I have a 2001 V70 T5. I have been having issues with the dash going completely blank, windows not rolling down, and blinkers not working. Happens everytime I drive the car within the first ten minutes. After you stop and let it cool down for about an hour, everything will start working for a few more minutes. The only message it is flashing is SRS- Urgent on the information panel, may not be related to my problem but I don't know, no ABS lights or anything, all the warnings do pop up right before it crashes.
I have opened up the ABS Module and resoldered the power pins, nothing else looked damaged. Didn't help. I read a thread about a motorola chip in the DIM, had that reflowed, didn't help. I think I have tracked it to either the ignition switch or the CCM. Sometimes when I get out of the car and it is acting up, the CCM will stay on. The lights will be on and it blows out air of the vents. Car completely off. This is why I think the ignition switch is not completely shutting off power to it or there is a short in the CCM. But why wouldn't the radio be on? Any ideas what would cause this? Thanks so much! I'm so frustrated dealing with this, and I need blinkers!

If the ignition switch is the problem, it should be easy to confirm and cheaper to replace.

When the problem happens, don't turn off the car but instead wiggle the key in the ignition to see if the problem comes on and off. If it does then replace the switch.

If it is the CCM, then 3 possibilities: needs resetting, needs reloading of software or needs replacement.

to reset: disconnect battery - and + terminals following procedure. Touch both cables together for about 20 sec,

if that doesn't work, the CCM might need to have software reloaded by the dealer,

if that doesn't work, you'll need a new CCM
