Quick Test of Exhaust Camshaft Control

2004 Volvo XC90 AWD L5-2.5L Turbo VIN 59 B5254T2SECTION Quick Test of Exhaust Camshaft Control





Quick test of exhaust camshaft control




- Start the engine
- Read off the value for the camshaft shift angle and the desired value for the camshaft shift angle
- Active the quick test of camshaft control by clicking the start button
- Increase the engine speed (RPM) to approximately 2500 rpm and keep the engine running at this speed.
When the engine speed (RPM) increases, the control module will start the quick test to control the shift angle of the camshaft for the different target values.
During the quick test, check that the shift angle of the camshaft (actual value) corresponds to the target values to an accuracy of ±10°.
Deviation between the values can be read off in the lower display.
Carry out the check for approximately 15 seconds at an engine speed (RPM) of 2500 rpm. The test is completed when the shift angle of the camshaft returns to 0°. To restart the test, let the engine return to idle speed, then increase the engine speed to approximately 2500 rpm.

Hint: A diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored in the control module if the control module detects a fault during the test.

Note! The test is active until the ignition is switched off. Switch off the ignition before delivering the car to the customer.
