guidance, I was able to fix this fault quickly and get the car back to my customer in good time,” Auditechnik’s Ian Sutton said. The IVS 360 team recently supported a customer with a 2004 Volvo C70. The cruise control was reported as inoperable, and a clutch pedal sensor fault code was also recorded. The team identified the cause and steps needed to fix the problem as follows: Make: Volvo Models affected: C70 (2001 - 2004); S60 (2001 2004); S80 (2001 - 2004) and V70 (2001 - 2004). Symptoms: 1. Cruise control may not function. 2. Fault codes for the clutch pedal position sensor.
Fault codes: • 9300 – Clutch pedal position sensor, faulty signal. Signal too high. Permanent fault Engine Control Module – ECM. • 928C – Cruise control lever. Signal too low. Permanent fault Engine Control Module – ECM. Possible causes: Clutch pedal position sensor may be faulty and need replacing. Repairing the fault: the following steps were provided to the customer: 1. Remove the driver’s side dash undertray. 2. Inspect position sensor for clutch fluid contamination. 3. Connect your Opus IVS device. 4. Go to Drive. 5.
