Component Tests and General Diagnostics
Checking The Cable
NOTE: Applies only to carphones with Volvo On Call.
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the battery negative terminal
- Disconnect central electronic module (CEM) connector D, phone module (PHM) connector A and the supplemental restraint system module (SRS) connector
- Ignition on
- Connect the battery negative terminal.
CAUTION: There must not be anyone inside the passenger compartment when the battery is connected.
The collision cable runs from the SRS control module to the carphone module (PHM) and the central electronic module (CEM). If the cable is defective, there is a risk that the safety measures in the central electronic module (CEM) and the emergency call from the carphone module (PHM) will fail if the airbag system is activated.
Checking for short circuits to ground
Check the collision sensor cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground. Take resistance readings between body ground and one of the following connectors:
- carphone module (PHM) connector terminal A17 (#17)
- central electronic module (CEM) connector terminal 5D (#B5)
- SRS control module connector terminal 30 (#2B). The resistance between a fault free cable and body ground should be infinite.
Checking for contact resistance and open-circuits
Check the connectors for the control modules. Check for contact resistance.
Check the collision sensor cable. Check for an open-circuit. Measure the resistance between all the connectors:
- carphone module (PHM) connector terminal A17 (#17)
- central electronic module (CEM) connector terminal 5D (#B5)
- SRS control module connector terminal 30 (#2B). The resistance of a fault free cable is approximately 0 W.
Checking for shortcircuits to supply voltage
Check the collision sensor cable. Check for a short-circuit to voltage. Use a voltmeter to take readings between the battery positive terminal and one of the following connectors:
- carphone module (PHM) connector terminal A17 (#17)
- central electronic module (CEM) connector terminal 5D (#B5)
- SRS control module connector terminal 30 (#2B). Remedy as necessary.
Other information
- Connect the breakout box to the carphone module (PHM).
- Connect the breakout box to the central electronic module (CEM).
- Connect the breakout box to the SRS module.
Select CONTINUE.
