Volvo models this fault code applies to
Applies to the following models:
1 modelV60 (2011–)
Show models by year and engine (2)
What does this fault code mean?
On the V60, the brake control module (BCM) has noticed that the pressure sensor in the cut-off unit gives too low a signal during braking, while the pedal position corresponds to a lower braking torque than expected. The fault may lie in the cut-off unit or in the brake pedal angle sensor.
Possible causes
- Faulty cut-off unit
- The pedal angle sensor sends a wrong reading
What you can do
- 1Read and note the code, clear it and road test the car to see whether it returns
- 2Look for damage in the wiring to the brake pedal angle sensor and to the cut-off unit's pressure sensor
- 3Check the cut-off unit and the angle sensor with diagnostic equipment
- 4If the fault remains, the brake pedal or cut-off unit needs replacing by a workshop. The braking system is safety critical, so do not work on it yourself
Symptoms you may notice3
- Anti-spin function does not work
- Hill descent assist does not work
- Front monitoring and adaptive cruise control do not work
