Parameter Description






Parameter description

Parameters, status

Status, alarm (Volvo On Call)
This parameter indicates how the phone module (PHM) sees the status of the alarm.
This parameter is used by phone modules (PHM) with Volvo On Call functionality. If the vehicle alarm is triggered, for example during a theft attempt, information about the status of the alarm from the upper electronic module (UEM) to the phone module (PHM) via the central electronic module (CEM). The phone module (PHM) then transmits vehicle data to the Volvo On Call Service Center which contacts the owner and informs him what has happened.
Alarm status 1 = the alarm has been disarmed with sensors
Alarm status 2 = the alarm has been armed with sensors
Alarm status 3 = the alarm is armed without sensors (reduced alarm)
Alarm status 4 = triggered alarm with sensors
Alarm status 5 = triggered alarm without sensors
Alarm status 6 = the alarm has been disarmed without sensors

Status, lock (Volvo On Call)
This parameter indicates how the phone module (PHM) sees the status of the lock.
This parameter is used by phone modules (PHM) with Volvo On Call functionality.
Unlocked = the vehicle is unlocked
Locked from the inside = the vehicle is unlocked from the inside
Locked from the outside = the vehicle is unlocked from the outside

Antenna signal (Volvo on Call)
The parameter indicates whether the phone module (PHM) uses the external or the internal antenna. The internal antenna is a spare antenna and is only found for phone modules (PHM) with Volvo On Call functionality. The spare antenna is only used when a Volvo On Call service is activated and the standard antenna is not working.
Internal antenna = the internal spare antenna is used
External antenna = the external antenna is used

Parameters, value

GSM IMEI number (markets with GSM only)
This parameter displays the IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identification) of the phone module (PHM).
The parameter will not be a valid value for non GSM phone modules (PHM).

Hint: GSM market phone modules (PHM) have a SIM card holder installed in the glove compartment.

The IMEI number can also be read off from the text window for the driver information module (DIM). To do this, enter *#06# on the keypad for the climate control module (CCM).

Capacity of the emergency battery (Volvo On Call)
The parameter indicates the remaining capacity of the internal emergency battery, which is only installed if the phone module (PHM) has Volvo On Call functionality. the emergency battery is only used upon activation of the Volvo On Call service if the standard power supply is missing. The remaining capacity is calculated by the phone module (PHM).
Measurement range 0-100%. 100% is full capacity.
The carphone module (PHM) stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) when the capacity drops to 30%.
- 0% corresponds to 0 minutes call time
- 10% corresponds to approximately 5 minutes call time
- 20% corresponds to approximately 10 minutes call time
- 30% corresponds to approximately 15 minutes call time
- 40-50% corresponds to approximately 20 minutes call time
- 60% corresponds to approximately 30 minutes call time
- 70-100% corresponds to more than 30 minutes call time.

VIN (Volvo On Call)
This parameter displays the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) programmed in the phone module (PHM).
The parameter is used by phone modules (PHM) with Volvo On Call functionality. If an incorrect VIN is programmed in the phone module (PHM), there will be no activation or deactivation code for the Volvo On Call subscription to work.

GPS Received position, latitude (Volvo On Call)
This parameter is used by phone modules (PHM) with Volvo On Call functionality. The phone module (PHM) receives the signal from the global positioning system module (GPS).
This parameter displays the latitude of the last received position of the vehicle.
The phone module (PHM) transmits the signal together with other vehicle data when a Volvo On Call service is activated.

GPS Received position, longitude (Volvo On Call)
This parameter is used by phone modules (PHM) with Volvo On Call functionality. The phone module (PHM) receives the signal from the global positioning system module (GPS).
This parameter displays the longitude of the last received position of the vehicle.
The phone module (PHM) transmits the signal together with other vehicle data when a Volvo On Call service is activated.

GSM signal strength (markets with GSM only)
This parameter indicates the signal strength for GSM phone modules (PHM).
Measurement range 0 -31.
The value of the signal strength depends on the coverage and geographical location of the vehicle.
The value for normal coverage/reception should be approximately 20-25.

Power supply
The parameter indicates the power supply to the phone module (PHM). The phone module (PHM) has a +30-supply.
Measurement range 0-66 V.
The normal value at ignition and with the engine running should be approximately 12 V (battery voltage).

Temperature unit
The parameter indicates the internal temperature in the phone module (PHM).
Measurement range -127- 127 °C.
The normal temperature is approximately 70 °C but may vary depending on whether the air conditioning (A/C) or heater is in use.
