    AUD-0018 - Buttons headset 4. Signal too low

    System

    Audio Module (AUD)

    Volvo models this fault code applies to

    Applies to the following models:

    1 model

    XC90 (2003–)

    Show models by year and engine (1)
    • Volvo XC90 (2003–)2003–2015

    What does this fault code mean?

    The audio control module (AUD) registers too low a signal from the buttons for headphone output 4, which is connected to the right headphone panel. This points to a short circuit to ground, between the signal wires or inside the panel itself, so the buttons for that output do not work.

    Possible causes

    • Short circuit to ground in the signal wire between the module and headphone output 4
    • Short circuit between the signal wires to headphone output 4
    • Short circuit inside the right headphone panel

    What you can do

    1. 1Check the connector to the right headphone panel for damage, moisture and corrosion
    2. 2Inspect the wiring to headphone output 4 for chafing and pinching
    3. 3Check the circuit with diagnostic equipment and replace the headphone panel if the fault lies there
    4. 4Clear the code only after the fault is repaired and check that the buttons work

    Symptoms you may notice1

    • The buttons for the headphone output do not work
