Battery voltage Volvo V70 II facelift

Battery voltage

The task of the rear electronic module (REM) is to check the voltage of the battery. The value of the voltage is transmitted out on the CAN network as a reference for other control modules.

The Central electronic module (CEM) receives this signal and checks it against its own supply voltage from the battery. The value is used when diagnosing the charging function.

Scheme 639

The fuel level in the gasoline tank is measured by the fuel level sensor (7/143). The level in the gas tank is measured by the fuel level sensor (7/156) (CNG) or (7/153) (LPG). The signals from the sensors are transmitted to the rear electronic module (REM) (4/58).

The rear electronic module (REM) calculates the quantity of fuel remaining in each tank and transmits this information via the controller area network (CAN) to the driver information module (5/1) and engine control module (ECM) (4/46). The driver information module (DIM) also receives data via the controller area network (CAN) from the engine control module (ECM) (4/46) indicating which type of fuel the car is running on. The gas level in the tank is displayed via the fuel gauge. The gasoline fuel level is displayed in the text window in the driver information module (DIM).

Scheme 640

The rear electronic module (REM) (4/58) controls the shut-off valves, (8/88-90) (CNG) and (8/76) (LPG), via a relay (which supplies the valves with power when they should be open.

The rear electronic module (REM) receives information via the controller area network (CAN) from the engine control module (ECM) (4/46) indicating that the car should run on LPG or CNG. The rear electronic module (REM) also receives information via the controller area network (CAN) from the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) indicating the position of the ignition and data about collision status. When the ignition is on and no collision has been registered, the rear electronic module (REM) activates the relay, which supplies the valves with power.

The rear electronic module (REM) deactivates the relay in the following cases

1. there is a signal from the engine control module (ECM) indicating that gasoline operation has been selected
2. ignition off
3. the collision status changes
4. there is a fault in the communication on the controller area network (CAN).

The relay can be activated via a diagnostic command, for example, to allow the tank to be drained. Activation is carried out in VIDA via the vehicle communication socket. See function group 3, Rear Electronic Module (REM).

Scheme 641

The rear electronic module (REM) (4/58) controls warming up the diesel filter.

The rear electronic module (REM) checks that the conditions to start the diesel filter have been met. The following is transmitted on the controller area network (CAN)

1. the engine control module (ECM) (4/46 sends a signal indicating that the engine is running
2. the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) transmits a signal indicating the position of the ignition key. The key must be in position II.

When the conditions are met, the rear electronic module (REM) grounds the output to a relay. There is a temperature switch (8/85) on the relay circuit. This is closed at approximately -3 °C which activates the relay. The temperature switch switches off at approximately 5 °C which breaks the power supply by releasing the relay. The diesel filter is then powered via the relay.

Scheme 642

The rear fog lamps (10/46, 10/53) are activated by pressing the button for the rear fog lamps in the lamp switch module (3/111).

There is also an audible warning note when the key is removed.

Scheme 649

The parking assistance system warns the drivers of close objects when reversing.

The driver is warned by a sound signal from the loudspeakers for the audio module (AUM) (16/1).

The rear sensors (7/131, 7/132, 7/133 and 7/134) are active when the ignition is on in position II and back-up gear (R) is selected. The sensors are deactivated automatically when the gear selector lever is moved from R to any other position. The sensors detect objects at a distance of 1.5 meters. A beeping sound is heard from one of the rear loudspeakers. If the vehicle is left-hand drive, the sound comes from the rear right-hand loudspeaker (16/5). If the vehicle is right-hand drive, the sound comes from the rear left-hand loudspeaker (16/6). The sound signal becomes more frequent as the distance to the object reduces. The sound is constant at distances below approximately 30 cm.

The front sensors (7/204, 7/205, 7/206 and 7/207) (option) are active when the ignition is on in position II and gear R is selected, or when the ignition is on in position II and the car is driven forwards at speeds below 10 km/h. The sensors are automatically deactivated when the car is driven forwards at above 15 km/h. On cars with automatic transmissions, the sensors are deactivated if P is selected, irrespective of speed. The sensors detect objects at a distance of 0.8 meters. A beeping sound is heard from one of the front loudspeaker on the driver's side (16/4). The sound signal becomes more frequent as the distance to the object reduces. The sound is constant at distances below approximately 30 cm.

A signal is transmitted from the parking assistance module (PAM) (4/86) to the rear electronic module (REM) (4/58). This indicates whether the buzzer should be switched on or off.

The rear electronic module (REM) then transmits a signal to the audio module (AUM) on the controller area network (CAN).

If a trailer or caravan is connected, the parking assistance system must be deactivated. This is done using the switch on the climate control module (CCM) (3/112).

The climate control module (CCM) then transmits a signal to the rear electronic module (REM) via the controller area network (CAN). The parking assistance system is deactivated.

Scheme 650

The trailer module (TRM) (4/110) ensures that the correct type of signals are transmitted to the tow hitch cable harness.

The rear electronic module (REM) (4/58) receives messages on the controller area network (CAN) from the central electronic module (CEM) (4/56) about when output signals to the turn signal lamps, parking lamps, back-up lamps and fog lamps should be activated. The rear electronic module (REM) then transmits a direct signal to the trailer module (TRM).

The trailer module (TRM) forwards the signal to the tow hitch cable harness.

The +12 V output signal is activated when the ignition key is turned from position 0 to I, II or III. The rear electronic module (REM) transmits the signal.

+12 V supply is direct from the battery.

The rear electronic module (REM) transmits messages on the controller area network (CAN) to the central electronic module (CEM) and driver information module (DIM) (5/1), if a trailer is connected to the tow hitch connector socket. A separate indicator lamp in the driver information module (DIM) indicates when the turn signal lamps are used and the trailer is connected. If one of the turn signal lamp bulbs is defective the separate indicator lamp will not light.

The output signals for back-up lamps, fog lamps and +12 V in the socket for the tow hitch connector are market dependent. The socket for the tow hitch connector is available in a number of variants with different numbers of pins.

Scheme 651

The rear window lift mechanisms are operated using switches (3/85-86) in the door panels.

When the window lift mechanisms are operated from the driver's position, data is transmitted from the driver's door module (3/126) via the controller area network (CAN) to the rear electronic module (REM) (4/58) which transmits a signal to the correct relay.

There is a switch in the driver's door module (DDM) to allow for child locking, where the windows can only be operated from the driver's position. When the function is active, information is transmitted via the controller area network (CAN) to the rear electronic module (REM) to disconnect the relay. The circuit for the rear switch is then broken.

When the child lock is activated, the lighting in the rear switches goes out.

Scheme 652

The rear electronic module (REM) handles functions for

1. alarm (certain functions)

The control module is installed as a separate unit in the rear relay box. This is under the left-hand cargo compartment panel.

The rear electronic module (REM) communicates with components which are directly connected and also with other control modules and components via serial communication and the control area network (CAN).

The control module checks activations and input and output signals using an integrated diagnostic system A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the control module detects an error. In certain cases the control module replaces the faulty signal with a substitute value.

Any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored in the control module memory. This information can be read off using VIDA via the data link connector (DLC) in the vehicle.

Lock and unlock the rear doors to check whether the rear electronic module (REM) is grounded and powered. The control module is powered and grounded if the doors lock and unlock. Another way to check whether the rear electronic module (REM) is powered and grounded is to switch on the rear fog lamp.

For further information, also see the relevant Signal specifications.

The following chart summarizes input signals to and output signals from the rear electronic module (REM). The signal types are divided into directly connected signals, serial communication and controller area network (CAN) communication. The illustration below displays the same information with the Volvo component designations.
