Signal Description: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2014 Volvo XC90, 2013 Volvo XC90, 2012 Volvo XC90, 2011 Volvo XC90, and 2010 Volvo XC90. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
General
All values stated below are measured between each connection in column 1 (Conn. control module) and breakout box connection #B3 unless otherwise noted in column 6 (Other). The control module's connections #A1-#A70 correspond to #A1-#B10 on the breakout box, #B1-#B50 correspond to #B11- #B60 on the breakout box.
NOTE:
It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground connections before starting to measure.
HINT: If the numbering of the connector is different from the numbering on the breakout box, the connector number is given first, #A61, followed by the breakout box number in brackets, #B1. Example: #A61 (#B1).
