Differential Electronic Module (DEM)
Removal
NOTE:If installing new components, there is no reason to remove the seals from the old components.
NOTE:The differential electronic module (DEM) and solenoid valve are calibrated together and must be installed as a set. If installing a new DEM or solenoid valve, install them as a set only.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist.
2. Disconnect the DEM by pushing the connector tab through the slot while pulling the connector out.
3. Remove the 2 DEM bolts, then remove the DEM, including the solenoid valve and the oil pressure/temperature sensor.
4. Using channel locks, carefully remove the solenoid valve.
5. Remove the oil pressure/temperature sensor from the active on-demand coupling if it did not come out when the DEM was removed.
Installation
1. NOTE:If installing a new DEM, install a new solenoid valve.
NOTE:Coat the new oil pressure/temperature sensor seal with Volvo transmission oil.
NOTE:Install the concave side of the washer facing downward.
Assemble the DEM as shown.
2. Install the DEM upper bolt and the DEM in the active on-demand coupling cover. Then install the DEM lower bolt.
^ Tighten to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs.).
3. Connect the DEM electrical connectors.
4. Verify the fluid level in the DEM.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
