Hint: After carrying out the repair check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off.
- Reinstall connectors, components etc.
- Connect combined instrument panel.
- Test drive the car at speeds above 20 kph, alternatively lift up the front suspension safely and remove both front wheels.
Warning! Cars with AWD, test drive the car at speeds higher than 20 kph, alternatively lift up the front and rear suspension safely and remove all wheels.
Note! When the rear wheels are stationary and the front wheels rotate, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) may be stored in the ABS system. Erase any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the ABS system after fault-tracing.
Note! Ensure that the front wheels are not rotating when the gear selector is moved.
- Ignition off.
- Disconnect the Volvo Scan Tool (ST) from the VIDA station. Use it as a stand alone tool and connect it to the data link connector (DLC) in the car.
