SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
The Electronic Climate Control (ECC) control module can detect faults in the system and store Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). If a fault is present, system informs driver by flashing the LEDs by the AC and REC switches for 20 seconds.
A fault warning is given when a fault is discovered or present each time ignition is turned on or engine started. DTCs will remain stored until cleared by an input code.
Note. Test Unit (981 3190) and Adapter (981 3194) are required for DTC diagnosis. The Volvo Diagnostic Key (998 8670) may be used to perform self-diagnostics. Follow tool manufacturer's instructions.
There are 3 different test modes/settings which can be selected for reading off DTCs. TEST MODE 1 may be used for reading off DTCs detected by control unit (up to 47 codes can be stored). TEST MODE 2 checks signals from speedometer and solar sensor.
TEST MODE 4 is used to check electrical circuits in A/C system, reset information on damper motor limit positions and change data transmission speed from ECC control module to on-board diagnostic unit.
Note. Ignition must be turned off before switching from one test mode to another.
ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
- Connect selector cable from diagnostic unit "A" to terminal No. 1 of diagnostic unit "B", located behind right headlight. (Scheme 6)
- Turn ignition on. LED on diagnostic unit "A" should start flashing. Each DTC (3-digits) consists of a series of flashes with a short break between each series. DTCs are displayed in ascending order. See «AUTOMATIC A/C-HEATER SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES»(ref-13719-S39285282802001032700000).

- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect test unit from ECC control module, but leave it connected to ECC control module connector. Disconnect passenger compartment temperature sensor connector. Connect jumper wire between temperature sensor connector terminals No. 2 and 4.
- Connect an ohmmeter between test unit pins No. 6 and 45 (driver's side), and between test unit pins No. 6 and 46 (passenger's side). If ohmmeter indicates continuity, wiring is okay but intake fan may have an open circuit. Go to next step. If ohmmeter indicates no continuity, intake fan is okay but wiring has an open circuit. Repair wiring as necessary.
- Ensure ignition is off. Ensure connector from passenger compartment temperature sensor is disconnected. Connect an ohmmeter between temperature sensor terminals No. 2 and 4. (Scheme 8)-9. Ohmmeter should indicate 50,000 ohms. If ohmmeter indicates no continuity, intake fan has an open circuit. Replace passenger compartment temperature sensor.
DTC 4-1-4 & 4-1-7 - DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER'S SIDE TEMP SENSOR INTAKE FAN SEIZED
Turn ignition off. Uncover passenger compartment temperature sensor. Check if fan turns freely by hand. If not, replace fan. Check fan for anything that could cause blockage and clear as necessary. If fan is okay, replace passenger compartment temperature sensor.
DTC 4-1-8 - NO CONTROL SIGNAL TO ECC POWER STAGE
- Ensure ignition is off. Connect Test Box (981-3190) to ECC control module. Check ground circuits. See 1-2-1 OUTSIDE TEMP. SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT. If ground circuits are okay, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. Place fan control lever to maximum speed. Connect voltmeter between test unit pins No. 6 and 42. If reading is below 6 volts, go to step 3. If reading is above 8 volts, go to step 4. If 6-8 volts are present, go to step 5.
- Wiring is shorted to ground. Check wiring between connector pin 1A and connector B pin B12. (Scheme 19) Repair wiring as necessary and go to step 5.
- Wiring is shorted to voltage. Check wiring between connector pin 1A and connector B pin B12. (Scheme 19) Repair wiring as necessary and go to next step.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect power stage 4-pin connector. see scheme 16and (Scheme 20). Connect an ohmmeter between Test Box pin 42 and power stage connector terminal 1A. Ohmmeter should indicate continuity. If no continuity is present, check wiring between connector pin 1A and connect B pin B12 to control unit for an open circuit.

DTC 4-1-9 - ECC POWER STAGE EMITTING FAULTY DIAGNOSTIC SIGNAL
- Ensure ignition is off. Connect test unit to ECC control module. Check ground circuits. See DTC 1-2-1, OUTSIDE TEMP. SENSOR CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND. If ground circuits are okay, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. Connect voltmeter between test unit pins No. 6 and 27. Voltmeter should indicate 3 volts. If voltmeter indicates one volt, there is no control signal to power stage. See DTC 4-1-8, NO CONTROL SIGNAL TO EEC POWER STAGE. If voltmeter indicates 4 volts, there is excessive voltage from power stage. See DTC 4-1-1, PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FAN OVERCURRENT OR SEIZED FAN.
- If voltmeter indicates 12 volts, check wire at ECC control module terminal A27 (Violet/White wire) for a short to voltage. (Scheme 17) If voltmeter indicates zero volts, wire has an open circuit or is shorted to ground. Go to next step.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect power stage 4-pin connector. see scheme 16and (Scheme 20). Check Violet/White wire between power stage connector terminal 2A and ECC control module terminal A27 for a short to ground or open circuit. If wire is okay, go to next step.
- Reconnect power stage 4-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Connect voltmeter between test unit pins No. 6 and 5. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If zero volts are present, wire is shorted to ground.
- Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect power stage 4-pin connector. Connect ohmmeter between test unit pin No. 5 and power stage connector terminal 3A. If ohmmeter indicates continuity, replace power stage. If ohmmeter indicates no continuity, check wiring for an open circuit and repair as necessary.
DTC 4-2-0 - ECC CONTROL MODULE FAULT, PROGRAM MEMORY
Erase DTC. Start and run engine. Turn engine off, leaving ignition on. Check if DTC returns. If DTC returns, replace ECC control module. Perform damper motor limit self-adjustment under TEST MODE 4.
