Signal description, Transmission Control Module (TCM)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
All values contained below are between the terminal in column 1 and #A53 (signal ground), unless otherwise indicated in brackets.
NOTE:
It is important to connect the breakout box and check ground terminals before taking readings.
| U = | DC voltage in volts (V) | UAC = | AC voltage in volts (V) |
| Ubat = | battery voltage | f = | frequency in Hertz (Hz) |
| Ulow = | voltage approximately 0 V | %duty = | duty cycle (pulse ratio) as a percentage (%) |
| t = | time in milliseconds (ms) |
