Hello, I frequent the V70 forum as we're on our 3rd V70.
Today I looked at a 2004 XC-90 for sale at a local gas station. It drove quite well though it had no discernible turbo boost.
It shifted well, had clean oil on the dipstick though a few chunks of build-up on the filler cap and oil fill grille.
The AC worked just fine too.
I pulled 17 codes with my BSR-PPC reader.
There was no Check Engine Light
The CEL did light up appropriately with the start-up circuit.

I used CAPS after each code and definition for clarity.

1) ECM 2A2A - Rear HO2S bank #1 heating. I WILL CHANGE THE REAR O2 SENSOR
2) CEM 1A66 - Communication with ICM. NO IDEA WHAT ICM MEANS
3) CEM 5B01 - LH heating element. HEATING ELEMENT OF WHAT?
4) CEM 6C48 - Transponder type. WHICH TRANSPONDER?
5) CEM 6C49 - Steering Column Lock Module. KEY WORKED OK. THE DISABLER RING (see above)
6) CEM 8F2D - Windshield Wipers / wiper. WIPERS AND WASHERS WORKED OK
7) CEM 8F2E - Windshield Wipers / wiper. as above
8) ECM 4801 - TWC efficiency bank 1. WHAT IS TWC?
9) DDM 0025 - BUT 0035 REFERRED TO THE PASSENGER WINDOW
10) PDM 0025 - as above
11) UEM 0035 - reading lamp
12) UEM 0037 - reading lamp
13) UEM 0039 - General Courtesy lighting
14) UEM 0080 - Rain Sensor
15) PCM 002A - NO PCM CODES LISTED
16) PCM 002B - as above
17) PCM 0023 - as above

Any help with any of these will be much appreciated.
1) I'm sure the heating element of the sensor went bad so it's self explanitory
2) as stated, what's an ICM and where should I look?
3) LH (left hand?) heating element?
4 + 5) The anti-theft transponder pick-up ring?
6 + 7) Any clue here as the wipers and washers work.
8) TWC efficiency? no clue
9 + 10) Another odd Volvo window positioning code?
11 - 14) I can live with these. I'll check the bulbs and throw water on the windshield
15 - 17) There were no PCM definition nor heading let alone codes listed.

Any help at all with these puzzlers would be appreciated.
I assume the UEM codes are bad bulbs so they ain't weighing heavily on my mind
If nothing else, what's a PCM and a TWC?

thanks George (and Kira)

 

PCM is the pump control module which regulates the fuel pump. there's been some write ups on recalls in the past for corrosion, particularly S40s in the east. TWC refers to the three way catalytic convert. If the O2 sensors pre/post the cat vary from expected comparisons, the code says the cat is running under efficiency and not burning off the last of the carbons Could be the cat, could be the sensors, could be an air leak in the intake or exhaust...

 

After pulling the codes above and test driving this XC-90 the gas station's new owner said his attempts to reach the owner of the vehicle went unanswered.
Three days ago I spotted a 2005 Ford Ranger XF4 Extended Cab a neighbor was selling. This little pickup truck has "good everything"; cleanliness, new tires, rich service history, LOW mileage and connections to an entirely new bunch of people in my town.

Our DMV opened at 8:00AM and the wee truck was in my name by 8:04.

We wanted a bit more capacity and my familiarity with the P2 platform (see my signature) made the XC-90 a natural.

However, this Ford will help us move stuff even better and will be much easier to sell when the time comes. We have truckless nieces who have already registered their jealousy. The one in Colorado might just come by to steal it.

Thanks for reading. I gotta go put plates on a truck. G&K

ps There's still a XC-90 base for sale in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
