ECM-5000 Topic is solved

Rvolvos · Post by **Rvolvos** » 18 May 2019, 10:35

Our 2006 XC70 185kmiles, start sometimes harder. The throttle body has been cleaned.
Scanned for codes and got among other things ECM-5000( first time)
I have cleaned the Electrical connector from the crankshaft position sensor, but no improvement.
Directly after cleaning it was starting difficult and saw the rpm gauge spiking
I have checked Vida for the location of the rpm sensor but not very helpful. Is there a better picture available?
According to Vida also:
Signal Interference (from power cable to starter?)
Damaged fly wheel; how to check this?
Help would be appreciated

Clear the codes, drive the car, scan for codes, come back and list all the codes from the second scan.

There are 2 cam RPM sensors on a 2006 XC70. They are housed in round black plastic housings made by Denso. The intake one is clearly visible. Each has a connector. The rear one on the exhaust cam isn't visible until the top mount is removed.

Rvolvos,
Did you ever resolve this issue?
I'm having much the same problem and would love to hear what you did to solve it.

Runs and starts much better now, I found out that he insulation from ignition coil wires where damaged / cracked. It was a miracle that the car was even running and or starting.
It only takes a bit longer to start when the engine is hot. But I am waiting on codes to come up before replacing cam or crankshaft sensors.
My advice to you is check the wiring on top of the block and on the side of the engine if you have a high mileage car.
Good luck.
