Signal Too Low






Signal too low

Checking the status




- Ignition on.
Activate the stop lamp.
Check if the fault is permanent or intermittent.
The stop lamp must light on activation.
The fault is permanent if the stop lamp does not activate.
If the stop lamp is activated, this is an indication that the fault was present previously but that it is not active at the moment, i.e. the fault is intermittent.






Continue - Checking components and wiring

-------------------------------------------------

Checking components and wiring
Check the voltage between the left and right-hand stop lamps and the output on the rear electronic module (REM). The voltage must be approximately 12 V when the stop lamp is activated.
Check the control signal cable. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Take readings between:
S60
- Rear electronic module (REM) terminal #B3 (#3) and stop lamp terminal #B4.
S80
- Rear electronic module (REM) terminal #D18 (#18) and stop lamp terminal #7.
V70/XC70
- Rear electronic module (REM) terminal #B3 (#3) and stop lamp terminal #B2.
XC90
- Rear electronic module (REM) terminal #B3 (#3) and stop lamp terminal #A5.
Check the cable between central electronic module (CEM) terminal #A15 (15) and rear electronic module (REM) terminal #A18 (18). Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.
