Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied as follows:




- Ignition off.
- Disconnect the Volvo Scan Tool (ST) from the VIDA station and use it in stand-alone mode.
- Throttle position (TP) sensor and engine control module (ECM) connected.
- Ignition on.
- Go into the Diagnostic Test Mode (DTM) menu. Zero all adaptive functions but the flywheel.

OK - Verification, continued

------------------------

Verification, continued




- Volvo Scan Tool (ST) connect to VIDA station.
- Start the engine and run it until it reaches operating temperature, at least 85°C.
- Engine idling




- Select Volvo Scan Tool (ST) to read off the value of the idle air trim adaptation.
- When the idle air trim adaption value has stabilized. Rev the engine to approximately 2000 and idle it.
- Wait approximately 30 seconds and read off the value again. Repeat this until the value is stable.

The value should be between -5 and 15 kg/h.

OK - VERIFIED

Not OK - VERIFICATION FAILED
