Foreword
D
The descriptions and service procedures contained in this manual are based on designs
and methods studies carried out up to October 07.
The products are under continuous development. Vehicles and components produced
after the above date may therefore have different specifications and repair methods.
When this is judged to have a significant bearing on this manual, supplementary service
bulletins will be issued to cover the changes.
The new edition of this manual will update the changes.

In service procedures where the title incorporates an operation number, this is a
reference to V.S.T. (Volvo Standard Times).
Service procedures which do not include an operation number in the title are for general
information and no reference is made to V.S.T.
The following levels of observations, cautions and warnings are used in this Service
Documentation:
Note: Indicates a procedure, practice, or condition that must be followed in order to have
the vehicle or component function in the manner intended.
Caution: Indicates an unsafe practice where damage to the product could occur.
Warning: Indicates an unsafe practice where personal injury or severe damage to the
product could occur.
Danger: Indicates an unsafe practice where serious personal injury or death could occur.

Blocked mode
Blocked mode
When the control unit has discovered a fault in any of the
central valves (the valve in a solenoid valve assembly that
is connected to the pressure tank) or the pressure sensor,
the system is set to blocked mode. Blocked mode means
that the automatic drive height position control ceases
completely and that the control box takes on redefined
functions.
The redefined functions of the control box are described in

more detail in the table below. Vehicles are only equipped
with one solenoid valve and one level sensor at the front.
D
The simplest way to put the vehicle in blocked mode is to
disconnect one of the rear axle level sensor connectors.
Resetting from blocked mode, once the fault has

disappeared, occurs next time the starter key is turned to
drive.

MID 150 PID 152 Control unit, number of resets

General information
The software in the ECS control unit contains internal
checking functions that restart the control unit if a fault
occurs in normal software execution. PID 152 contains
information about how many such restarts have been
made.
Component: A16 Control unit, ECS (electronically

controlled suspension)
Cable harness: 1072

Fault code
FMI 12
Faulty unit or component.
Conditions for fault code:
• If an internal software fault occurs, the info code is set.
Possible cause:
• The system has been restarted due to an internal

software fault.
Reaction from the control unit:
• The system is restarted.

MID 150 SID 1/2 Solenoid valve assembly, front axle
D
General information
The solenoid valve assembly on the front axle comprises
a solenoid valve that controls the air flow to the bellows
on both right and left hand sides.
When the control unit has detected a fault in the solenoid

valve, the system is set to blocked mode, see “Blocked
mode” page 5 .

• Abnormally low current or interruption.
Possible cause:
• Break in the supply cable.
• Open circuit in the ground wire.
• Faulty solenoid valve.

• No ECS functions are effected.
Noticeable external symptoms:
• Warning lamp.
• The vehicle height is either continuously controlled or

NOTE!
• Read off other fault codes for the ECS system. If any
of the other solenoid valves also has an active fault
code, it is probable that the fault is on one of the
common wires, refer to wiring diagram.
• Check all the relevant connectors for bad contact,

contact resistance and oxidation. For a closer
description of fault tracing wiring and connectors, refer
to the separate service information “Fault tracing
wiring, connectors” under group 371.
WARNING
When working on the ECS system, it is important
that the upper switch in the control box is in the
drive position (position 2, AUT) when the starter key
is in the stop position. This prevents the vehicle
from automatically controlling the level while work
is in progress.
