Checking diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs)












- Ignition off.
- Check atmospheric pressure sensor connector (lilac) for contact resistance and oxidation and remedy according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
- Check control module connector for contact resistance and oxidation and remedy according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
- Atmospheric pressure sensor connected.
- Control module connected.
- Start the engine and idle it.
- Wait 5 minutes.




- Select Volvo Scan Tool (ST) to read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

If EFI-422 is stored they should have intermittent status.

OK - Fault-tracing information
