Volvo models this fault code applies to
Applies to the following models:
9 modelsS60 (2011–), S80 (2007–), V40 (2013–), V40 Cross Country (2013–), V60 (2011–), V60 Cross Country (2015–), V70 (2008–), XC60 (2009–), XC70 (2008–)
What does this fault code mean?
The fault code means no Hall pulses are registered from motor 1, which controls the front-rear adjustment of the seat, even though the motor is activated. Automatic operation of the seat and the outer mirrors then does not work, and neither does the automatic front seat memory adjustment.
Possible causes
- Damaged Hall sensor in motor 1
- Signal cable short-circuited to ground
- Broken wire on the signal line running to the Hall sensor
What you can do
- 1Check that the seat fuses are intact.
- 2Look at the connector to motor 1 for corrosion, and check that it is firmly seated and the wiring is not chafed.
- 3Use a multimeter to check that the signal wire to the Hall sensor is not short-circuited to ground and has no open circuit.
- 4If you have a diagnostic tool: run motor 1 and see whether the Hall sensor value changes in live data.
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop check the motor and the control module.
Symptoms you may notice2
- Automatic operation of the seat and outer mirrors does not work
- The automatic memory adjustment of the front seat is not working
