man you are underrated for very weird volvo problems lol

Great info. My 2004 S60 that still looks new is a victim of this faulty design. It sits parked beneath trees and the culprit is the seeds and leaves that block the drainage. Other than this problem, it's a great vehicle.

Thank you so much for posting this video I do not have that year of car but in principle this will help me when I do have electrical Gremlins. Good reminders.

Very unique and critical video. Thanks for taking the time!

Hello Peppermint... Thanks for all u do buddy, I'm currently doing some maintenance on my 04 XC70 concerning the blower motor and it's all thanks to your video that showed me the way... Have you ever heard of a parts company called Sidem Belgium ? I got a control arm kit from them I'll keep my fingers crossed and I'll make a video review on the parts before and after install

Can't speak for this company, but try buying from an official store. Many items sold on Ebay are counterfeit. I ended buying genuine bushes from Volvo and pressed them in the control arm

From 2003 and onwards Volvo put new electronics in their cars. Before 2003 it was Denso, from 2003 onwards the stepped over on Bosch. Therefore I think from 2003 on they used another CEM design. You can recognize if your car has Bosch or Denso electronics. The Bosch ones use another TCM (throttle control module). Before on the ones equipped with Denso they used a Magneti Marelli TCM which can cause problems sometimes. The Bosch ones are more reliable. When you cold start an S60 with Bosch electronics the RPM immediately goes to around 1600rpm and stays there for about 60 seconds. After that it returns to about 1000rpm. The S60's equiped with Denso don't do that.

Good info about the cold idle. The 2001-2002 had several different parts around the engine, such as TB, various hoses and sensors. These were changed from 2003, and from early or mid 2004 on there were new modules such as CEM and REM, new tensioner, steering rack and pump, new radio units. New headlights from 2005 on

from 2000 you have as well a leak problem, the screws have a step so you can not thighten them more than that, so the seal below the box goes thinner and than it leaks, got drops on my feet while driving in the rain, this i sealed from outside with bodyseal or glue and now it is fine.. still running car...

CEM 01-04 on other side and accessible thru passenger cabin

Just happened to my parents' XC90. I took it apart and found the same corroded connector, and a few pins were stuck in the harness connector. Buying a used CEM to try and take the connector to resolder on to the damaged CEM. I have a DiCE but haven't been able to find a way to reprogram a used CEM.

I wish I had a dice

Peppermint! An Volvo XC90 purchased with 100K for $750. It runs nice after installing new plugs and coils. It does stall from time to time and must be restarted. The reason for the low price, was that of a parasitic draw of 400ma. With the car "asleep", I've found that there is 12V on many of the CEM fuses and under the hood in that fuse box. I pulled the top CEM connectors and found no water damage. After the CEM disconnect, the fuses under the hood showed no voltage, the draw disappeared, but the CEM still shows 12V on some circuits. I'm trying to make a decision whether or not to have the CEM repaired. What do you think?

Try asking on a forum. I believe the XC90 had a recall on the CEM harness - www.swedespeed.com/threads/cem-and-harness.416994/

Is that location for cem for 2008 xc70 Volvo 3.2 engine i do have some weird codes and suspecting this but i am not sure if that is the location or it is inside under steering wheel Pls let me know Thanks

A 2008 XC is a third generation (P3), different than the 2nd gen P2 shown in the video. First thing is to measure the battery and alternator (and verify the cables), then try asking on this forum www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=112

Do you the link on install software on cem? If I plan to replace CEM

No. What you see is only the surface. There is always much more corrosion inside the module

So many German cars with ECM\CEM\TCM\Cooling Relays sitting in a puddle. I was mad at GM for attaching ECM next to washer fluid fill tube or directly on the engine but German cars win the trophy for bad ecm placement. I think German car makers want these expensive main systems to fail first.

If you want to swap the CEM with a used one and have it programmed for your car, contact this US company and ask them what to do (they can work over the internet in most countries) www.datatransferring.com/volvo www.datatransferring.com/contact volvos60xc70xc90buyersguide.home.blog/ Another similar company in the UK that can do module repair and programming volvodiagnostic.com/shop/index.php

Does this is an issue for 2001 s60 also?

@@sangcxl31 2001-mid 2002 also had different fuel system design. It doesn't use FPS or PEM. Also the 2001-2003 CEM has a specific fuel pump relay, search KZread with "peppermint fuel pump relay". Maybe the relay got stuck to ON. Suggest asking of these two forums, the UK one is better for diesel engines UK www.volvoforums.org.uk/ US www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/
