QuestionBought my 2002/52 D5 volvo V70 in 2004 at 85000 miles. Problems with the driver info module (DIM) started in 2005; Volvo said car was out of warranty and problem would cost megabucks to fix.
Basically all guages go off warning lights all on. Then works fine again. Flashes like this every 7 sec. Problem was intermittent at first, the got worse until doing it all the time.
Jan this year the indicator annunciator stopped working (indicators still work fine, but no light or sound in car.)
Now the b* guages have gone off altogether so I'll have to get it fixed.
Problem is, is the fault in the CEM, the DIM, the wiring, or the relay (2/29 CM122) that feeds power to the DIM?
Computer readout last year shows erratic fault readings from the CEM (listed below) and no faults from the DIM.
Fault codes 6A03, 8F12, 1A53, 8F02, 1A52, 6C11, 6A01, 6A02, 6C46 all intermittent.
moving the drivers seat caused the dash to come on momentarily. If its a cable fault can the cable be repaired or does the whole harness need replaced?
AnswerJohn, we dont have the Diesels here in the states but since its a wiring issue I may be able to help. You can try opening the harness and see whats going on. If its an obvious wire that is cut or not making contact, yes, you can solder a new one in. If its a mess and unless you have the patience in repairing wire by wire, then it would be best to get a new harness. Hope this helped. Roger
