April 5, 2026: LEMON Manuals is launched! Read the announcement.

Signal specification, ABS / DSTC (dynamic stability and traction control) control module

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2007 Volvo V70, 2006 Volvo V70, 2005 Volvo V70, 2004 Volvo V70, and 2003 Volvo V70. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

All the values given are between the relevant terminal in column 1 and terminals #A15 or #A46 (ground), unless otherwise indicated in brackets.

NOTE:

It is important that the breakout box is connected and that the ground terminals have been checked before readings are taken.

  U= DC voltage in volts (V) Ubat = battery voltage (V)
  I = current in amperes (A) Ulow = voltage approximately 0 V
  f = Frequency in Hertz (Hz)

(at normal system voltage)
The wheel sensors generate a current for the control module. When the pulse wheel rotates, the sensor generates a pulsed current (quadratic wave) where the strength of the current depends on the position of the pulse wheel. The frequency increases with speed.
#A4 #4 Power supply, rear right wheel sensor U = Ubat The wheel sensor receives 12 V from the control module.
#A5 #5 - - -
#A6 #6 Power supply, rear right wheel sensor U = Ubat The wheel sensor receives 12 V from the control module.
#A7 #7 Rear right wheel sensor signal Tooth against sensor: I≈14 mA U≈9 V
Cover against sensor: I≈7 mA U≈10 V
(at normal system voltage)
The wheel sensors generate a current for the control module. When the pulse wheel rotates, the sensor generates a pulsed current (quadratic wave) where the strength of the current depends on the position of the pulse wheel. The frequency increases with speed.
