Signal Specification
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.
All values given below are between the respective terminal in column 1 and terminal #3 (power ground) unless otherwise stated in brackets after the entry. Control module terminals #1-#16 correspond to terminals #1-#16 on the breakout box.
NOTE:
It is important to connect the breakout box and check the ground terminals before taking readings.
| U= | DC voltage in volts (V) | UAC = | AC voltage in volts (V) |
| Ubat = | Battery voltage (V) | f = | Frequency in Hertz (Hz) |
| Ulow = | Voltage approximately 0 V | % duty = | Duty cycle (pulse ratio) as a percentage (%) |
| t = | Time in milliseconds (ms) | - | - |
| Terminal | Signal type | Ignition on | Engine idling | Other |
| #1 | Glow plug signal | Glow plug off: U=Ulow Glow plug on: Pulse ratio (% duty) > 0% |
Pulse ratio (% duty) increases with glow plug intensity. | |
| #2 | - | - | - | |
| #3 | Power ground (Measured to the battery negative terminal) |
U low | - | |
| #4 | Signal ground, engine coolant temperature sensor and flame sensor | U low | - | |
| #5 | - | - | - | |
| #6 | Communication cable for the central electrical module (CEM) | - | Digital signal | - |
| #7 | - | - | - | - |
| #8 | Flame sensor signal | Flame not lit: U≈5 V Flame lit: U<1.5 V |
