Cable routing

Installing the cable harness from the bumper





Note! Illustrations "Installing the cable harness from the bumper" show a left-hand drive car. Carry out the procedure on the left-hand side of the car on right-hand drive vehicles.

- Take the short cable harness from the kit
- Disconnect the smaller connector from the cable
- Secure the watertight connector (1) with the plastic clamp / steel clip from the kit
- Secure the plastic clamp around the connector. Secure the steel clip around the steel edge on the right-hand side of the car.




- Pull the cable end with loose pins into the engine compartment
- Route the cable (1) as illustrated. Conceal the cable under the fuse holder and expansion tank
- Ensure that it will not be damaged by heat or wear
- Clamp the cable. Use tie straps from the kit.

Routing the cable to the passenger compartment




- Raise the car
- Remove the plug from the hole into the passenger compartment.

If the car has a rubber grommet without room for more cables
- Replace the existing rubber grommet with the rubber grommet from the kit.

If the car has a rubber grommet with room for more cables
- Cut the end off the spare rubber nipple and route the cable to the passenger compartment
- Thread the rubber grommet on from the kit. Lubricate the cable to facilitate sliding on the rubber grommet. Use soap. Route the cable through the hole. Press the rubber grommet into place
- Ensure that the insulation sheath for the cable is positioned against the lead-in. Secure it using a tie strap.




- Push the floor carpet to one side. Pull in the cable.




- Locate the connector that was disconnected earlier
- Release the catch
- Install the cable end pins in the connector.
1. Blue (Blue, BL)
2. Green (Green, GN)
3. Violet (Violet, VO)
4. Yellow (Yellow, Y)
5. White (White, W)
6. Black (Black, SB).
- Press the connector catch back into place.




- Take the long cable from the kit. Connect to the newly prepared connector
- Route the cable to the side of the car and to the rear under the sills along the existing cable trunks. Continue in to the cargo compartment.

Applies to left-hand drive cars
- Route the cable along the rear crossmember and onwards to the parking assistance module (PAM) at the left-hand wheel arch.

Making holes in the bumper




- Pre-drill the holes through the centre of the markings. Use a 3 mm (1/8") diameter drill bit
- Drill out the holes. Use a 8.5 mm (21/64") diameter drill bit.




- Make the holes in the bumper casing. Use a 31 mm (17/32") hole tool (P/N 9814069).

Making holes in the rear section




- Mark the rear section for holes. See the illustration. The illustration shows the right-hand side. Make the same measurements on the left-hand side
- Drill through the rear section. Use a 50 mm hole saw.

Installing the sensor holders




- Wash any dirt and stones off the bumper casing. Use a mild soap solution
- Clean around the drilled holes. Use a wet cloth. Allow to dry
- Apply activator (P/N 8637076) around the holes on the inside of the bumper. Allow to dry.




- Clean the mounting surfaces on the sensor holders. Use the wet cloth. Allow to dry
- Apply activator (P/N 8637076) to the cleaned surfaces of the sensor holders. Allow to dry
- Clean the sensor surfaces on the sensor. Use the wet cloth. Allow to dry
- Apply a thin layer of activator over the sensors.

Note! Only paint the parts that are visible after installation.




- Check that the markings on the reverse (A) of the sensor holders are correctly positioned
- The holders must be positioned in the following order, from left to right: 1, 2, 1, 2.

Illustration A




- Remove the protective film from one side of the tape
- Secure the tape on the sensor holder
- Carry out the above procedure on the remaining three sensor holders
- Cut away a piece of the collar on the holders for the inner sensor where it is turned in towards the centre of the bumper
- Cut away a piece of the collar which is turned downwards on the holders for the outer sensors
- Check the position of the holders. Place the sensors in the holders. The connectors for the inner sensors must be turned outwards.

Note! Check that the sensor holders can be installed before removing the backing tape.

Illustration B




- Remove the protective film from the pieces of tape on the sensor holders
- Install the holders for the sensors. The numbers must be pointing upwards so that they are horizontally in line with the bumper casing. See the illustration.

Note! The tape adheres immediately.

Caution! Incorrect positioning of the sensors may result in partial or complete malfunction.

Installing the sensors and cable harness





Note! Applies to left-hand drive cars. When installing on the right-hand drive cars, the connector on the cable harness must protrude from the left-hand side of the bumper.

- Take the sensors and cable harness from the kit
- Install the two inner sensors in the sensor holders so that they engage securely. The outer sensors are installed from underneath after the bumper is reinstalled on the car
- Connect the cable harness connectors to the sensors. The loose connector for the cable harness must now protrude from the side of the bumper. See the illustration.

Note! A click should be heard when connecting. The noise confirms that the catch has locked.

- The cable harness must be secured along the inside edge of the bumper above the foam. Secure the cable. Use butyl tape. Use activator (P/N 8637076) as an undercoat to increase adhesion.




- Reinstall the foam and rear section in the bumper cover
- Reinstall the two clips on the underneath of the bumper cover
- Ensure that all catches secure properly.





Note! Ensure that the activator has dried for at least 10 minutes before the paint is applied.

- Spray the sensor holders and the sensors. Use paint with the same colour code as the car. Use a Volvo recommended paint. Apply a maximum of two layers of paint.

Caution! Too many layers of paint may result in partial or complete malfunction.




- Hold the bumper up against the car. Connect the connectors for the sensors to the connector secured to the car
- Reinstall the bumper by repeating the instructions in points in reverse order
- Install the outer sensors in the holders. Connect the sensors to the cable harness. See illustration.




- Connect the pre-routed cable to the spare port in the parking assistance module (PAM)
- It is secured by Velcro strips on the left-hand side in the cargo compartment behind the wheel arch.

Note! Ensure that the connector clicks into place and are properly secured.

- Clamp the sensor cable so that it does not chafe or rattle.

Reinstall:
- the sill trim panels, front and rear
- the side panels in the cargo compartment
- the floor carpet and sill moulding in the cargo compartment
- the panel and floor carpet at the front passenger or driver's seat.
