Typical Circuit Components

Wiring Harnesses, Wires & Connectors

Each circuit uses a wire of a specific size, based on the current demands for that circuit. The circuit number is stamped into the insulation every 76 mm (3 in.). This aids in proper connections and simplifies circuit tracing.

Black, numbered wires are fused, powered circuits. White wires are ground. Red wires are “hot” at all times and protected by fusible links. Multi-colored wire harnesses may be used as interfaces to some components; the definition of those multi-colored wires varies by component.

Some wires are grouped together and encased in a split plastic casing or braided tubing called a conduit.

This grouping of wires is called a harness. Major wiring harnesses are joined by using multiple plug and receptacle connectors.

Each harness or wire must be held securely in place by clips or other holding devices to prevent chafing of the insulation.

Terminals used throughout the system are Deutsch, Amp,

JAE, KOSTAL and Packard.

Wiring Schematics

The wiring schematics for VN/VHD series vehicles are found in “VN or VHD Series Electrical Schematics,

Group 37.” These schematics are continuously updated to provide detailed, vehicle-specific wiring information.

Detailed instructions for schematic use is included in these binders. The schematics feature:

Single circuit format

Illustrated location of connectors on the vehicle

Connector cavity, circuit and function details

Fuse numbers

Wire numbers

Splice details

Vehicle variant details

Simplified schematics are sometimes used in manuals and bulletins to help explain component design and function features or to clarify troubleshooting instructions.

These simplified schematics do not offer the level of detail needed for vehicle troubleshooting, nor are they updated regularly. Always use the schematics found in “VN/VHD

Series Electrical Schematics, Group 37” for the most current information.

Design and Function

Circuit Protection

To protect wiring and equipment from overloads, circuit protectors, such as fuses, are used. Circuit breakers and fusible links are also used.

CAUTION

Failure to use proper circuit protection devices in the vehicle can result in damage to the vehicle and its components. Replace blown fuses only with fuses of the same rating. Replace fusible links only with proper replacement parts of the exact gauge and length.

Failure to use proper circuit protection could overload the circuit, causing severe damage to the vehicle.

Fuses

Fig. 4: Blade-type Fuses

W3000484

1 Good fuse

2 Blown fuse

The most common protector in the vehicle circuit is a fuse. A fuse consists of a fine wire or strip of metal inside a glass tube or, more commonly, in a plastic housing. The strip melts and interrupts the flow of current in the circuit when there is an overload caused by an unwanted short or ground. The fuse is designed to melt before the wiring or electrical components in a circuit can be damaged.

Naturally, the cause must be located or the new fuse will also blow. Since different circuits handle different amounts of current, fuses of various ratings are used. Be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same rating.

The VN/VHD vehicles use maxi-fuses, which are designed for a larger amount of current than a regular fuse. Mini-fuses are also used. They are smaller in size, but their current ratings are the same as ATO blade-type fuses.

10

Group 3 Electrical System, VN & VHD

Fusible Links

Fusible links are used to protect high-current circuits against current overload when there is a short to ground.

The fusible link is a short length of wire that is smaller in gauge than the wire in the protected circuit. In the event of an overload the fusible link will melt, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to the electrical system. If a fusible link does open, special attention must be paid to finding and repairing the cause.

Fusible links are used in two locations: two are at the starter motor on the positive side feeding the cab main power studs, and one is from ground on the starter motor to engine ground. The fusible links on the positive side are 10 gauge cables 120 mm (4.72 in.) in length. On the ground side, it is an 8 gauge cable.

Diodes

Diodes are used on many of the vehicle’s circuits to protect and isolate them from voltage surges, which can occur when a circuit is turned off. Diodes allow voltage to flow in one direction only, like a one-way check valve.

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are optional equipment. SAE Type 2 modified reset circuit breakers are the only type of circuit breakers approved for use in VN/VHD vehicles. They may be used on accessory and ignition circuits only.

Circuit breakers protect a circuit from overload. When an overload (high current flow) occurs in a circuit, a bimetallic strip in the breaker is heated. This opens its contact, temporarily breaking the circuit. When this bimetallic strip cools down, it remakes the contact.

Type 2 circuit breakers are opened by current overload and remain open as long as the power is on. A Type

2 circuit breaker keeps the bimetallic strip hot after tripping by diverting a small amount of current through a small coil of resistance wire. If power to the circuit breaker is switched off long enough for the bimetallic strip and resistance wire to cool down, the breaker will automatically reset.

When any circuit breaker trips, it should be viewed as an indication of a possible fault in the circuit. Every effort should be made to identify and correct the fault if one exists.

Design and Function

Switches and Relays

Circuit controls are switches or relays. Switches are usually at the beginning of a circuit but can be used to control a ground path. For example, the switch controlling the headlights is at the power end of the circuit, while the door switch controlling the dome light completes the circuit to ground. Relays are remotely controlled switches.

They use a low current signal through a coil to control larger currents conducted through their contacts.

VN Series vehicle circuits also include micro-relays. The micro-relay is smaller in size than a conventional relay, and the pin arrangement is different (see illustration).

Group 3 Electrical System, VN & VHD

Sensors and Senders

Many electronic signals used by ECUs and the instrument cluster are supplied by sensors and senders. A sensor or sender sends a signal to a control unit, or to the microprocessor in the instrument cluster. Sensors used in the vehicle system include the vehicle speed sensor, the throttle position sensor and Anti-lock Brake System

(ABS) wheel speed sensors.

The vehicle speed sensor is mounted in the transmission and reads the movement of the teeth on the output shaft. It is of an inductive type and sends a fluctuating

(sinusoidal) signal to the engine ECU.

The fuel sender, mounted in the fuel tank, transmits the fuel level to the instrument cluster.

An Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) wheel speed sensor is mounted in each monitored wheel. As the wheel spins, the sensor sends a fluctuating signal to the ABS ECU, which the ECU interprets as wheel speed.

VN and VHD vehicles are equipped with combination sensors that can measure both pressure and temperature of certain engine functions.

The turbo boost temperature and pressure sensor, for example, measures both the temperature and the pressure of turbo boost air in the intake manifold. A capacitive type sensor measures the pressure of the turbo boost and sends a signal to the Engine ECU, which interprets this pressure and adjusts engine functions accordingly.

The sensor’s temperature element is a thermistor type that creates a resistance from the temperature of the turbo boost air and also sends a signal to the engine ECU.

The combination engine oil temperature and pressure sensor functions identically, but sends engine oil information first to the Engine ECU, then to gauges on the instrument cluster via the Data Link wires.

Data Link Communication

General

Communication between the different ECUs takes place via the two data links: the J1939 control data link and the

J1587/1708 information data link.

The diagram shows how the control units, the diagnostic connector, and the instrument cluster are connected in principle.

The instrument cluster, the engine ECU and the

diagnostic connector are always included in the system.

The system may include other control units, depending on the vehicle type, engine type and optional equipment.

An overview of data link communication follows. For complete information on data link communications, see “ Vehicle Electronics, Design and Function” Volvo publication number PV776–TSP132163.

SAE J1939 Control Data Link

The system’s control signals are sent via this link.

The J1939 link is very fast, operating at 250,000 bits per second. This operating speed allows the system to function more effectively and adapt quickly to changing conditions and vehicle requirements.

The link complies with SAE standards, and consists of three twisted wires: a green wire (407), a yellow wire

(406) and a shield wire (408). The twisted wire set (40 turns per meter) is used to protect the link from electrical interference.

Note: The shield wire (408) may not be present in some vehicles.

CAUTION

No modifications or connections should be made to wires 406 (yellow), 407 (green) or 408 (shielded).

These wires carry the high-speed communications between the electronic systems in the vehicle. Any

modification, connection to, or damage to these wires can result in the failure of the vehicle’s electronic systems.

Terminating Resistor

Terminating resistors are wired into each end of the

J1939 data link. One is located near the ABS ECU and the other near the engine ECU. On Volvo engines, the terminating resistor at the engine ECU end is located inside the EECU.

Only two terminating resistors are used in a vehicle. Never install three in one truck. If more than two terminating resistors exist in the J1939 circuit, damage to the ECU electronics can occur over time. You can easily check to see if you have two resistors by measuring the resistance between circuits 406 and 407 with the ignition OFF. The correct resistance is 60 .

The purpose of these resistors is to prevent data link signal reflections. They must remain connected for the system to function properly.

SAE J1587/1708 Information Data

Link

Information and diagnostic signals are sent via this link. The link also functions as a “backup” should the

J1939 control data link fail to function for any reason.

SAE J1708 is a standard that specifies hardware and a databus speed of 9600 bits per second. SAE J1587 is a protocol that provides a standard method for exchanging information between microprocessors.

The J1587 link consists of two wires (400 and 401) that are twisted around each other approx. 30 turns per meter.

The twisted-pair wires are to protect the link against electrical interference.

CAUTION

If a circuit must be added to the electrical system, and will carry high currents or frequencies, route it in a location AWAY from wires 400 and 401 to prevent mutual inductance from interfering with data link functions.

CAUTION

Wires 400 and 401 MUST NOT be cut or spliced for any connections. These wires are used for the transmission of data for diagnostic messages and gauges. Modifying this circuit can cause these functions to fail.

SAE J1922 Data Link

For a short period of time some vehicles were produced which used the J1922 data link. The J1922 data link was developed as an interim standard until the J1939 control data link was established. The J1922 link operates on

J1708 defined hardware and is used like a control link for communication between engine, transmission and ABS

ECUs.

The J1922 link consists of two wires (404 and 405) that are twisted around each other approx. 30 turns per meter.

The twisted-pair wires are to protect the link against electrical interference.

Fig. 10: Diagnostic Connector

The diagnostic connector is a round Deutsch connector located in the driver’s side kick panel. The diagnostic connector is connected to the J1587/1708 information link and gives the system a way to communicate with an external PC or diagnostic tool.

With a PC or diagnostic tool connected, error codes can be read from all the control units. This is important in fault tracing to carry out basic checks of all the vital parts of the vehicle’s electronics.

Some programming can also be done via the diagnostic connector.

The standard diagnostic connector is a 6–pin Deutsch.

A newer 9–pin Deutsch version has been introduced on certain vehicle/engine variants. The new 9–pin connector connects to both the J1939 and J1587/1708 data links.

Batteries

Design and Function

W3004394

Fig. 12: Typical Battery Box Locations

VN/VHD generally will use groups of three or four 12–volt batteries. All batteries are wired in series with the battery cables going directly to the starter. There are no “frame rail grounds” that go directly to the battery set. Battery box locations vary per application. The VN series and some VHD models have the battery box on the left frame rail under the cab steps.

As an option, some vehicles may have a master battery disconnect switch (main switch). The switch will be mounted on or near the battery box in all applications.

The battery disconnect switch can be used to cut all positive battery power to the vehicle. Note: The battery disconnect switch should not be used as a substitute for removing battery cables to prevent damage to the vehicle when welding.

Fig. 13: Battery Disconnect Switch

W3004404

Group 3 Electrical System, VN & VHD

Starting Circuit

When the ignition switch is turned to the START position, power to energize the starter relay coil is supplied on wire number 284. The starter relay coil is grounded through the overcrank protection switch (or a shorting jumper).

The overcrank protection (OCP) switch is located inside the starter. This switch is optional. Where the OCP switch is not used, a shorting jumper is used to complete the starter relay coil ground circuit.

The OCP switch is designed to open and prevent the starter from turning if the starter becomes excessively hot. It should reset when the starter cools sufficiently.

When the starter relay energizes, a connection is made from the starter solenoid BATT terminal (wire 285A) to the starter solenoid SW terminal (wire 285).

When the solenoid pulls in, a connection is made internally in the solenoid that connects the battery terminal to the motor terminal. Then the starter begins

to crank the engine. See Fig. 11: Starting & Charging

Circuit, Simplified Schematic page 17.

Charging Circuit

With the engine running, AC voltage is initially generated in the alternator’s stator windings by passing magnetic fields from the rotor.

Diodes in the rectifier bridge change the AC voltage to DC voltage at the alternator B+ terminal.

As the alternator speed increases, current is provided for charging the batteries and operating electrical accessories through wire 8.

An integral voltage regulator maintains operating voltage

to a predetermined setting. See Fig. 11: Starting &

Charging Circuit, Simplified Schematic page 17.

Group 3 Electrical System, VN & VHD

Battery Power Supply

Power is supplied from the batteries to the starter solenoid, then from the starter solenoid battery post via wires 1A–A and 1B–A. (Note that each of these wires contains a fusible link.) Wire 1B feeds cab main power stud 1, and 1A feeds cab main power stud 2.

CAUTION

The ignition and battery expansion blocks were designed for plug-in harnesses or fuses only. DO NOT plug ATO-size fuses or circuit breakers into either expansion block. These devices will short the power point to the ground bus.

CAUTION

Failure to properly install additional electrical components may adversely affect the operation of the vehicle, including the engine, electrical charging system, truck body, stereo system and the driver information systems.

Power stud 1 feeds wires 1B and 1P, which power maxi-fuse bus bars. These maxi-fuses supply power to various fuses and possibly a battery expansion block.

Battery power is also supplied to the ignition switch through this circuit. The battery power expansion block is used to supply power to optional electrical accessories.

Power stud 2 feeds wire 1A, which delivers power through a splice to the Accessory Power Relay and to two Ignition Power Relays. Power stud 2 may also supply battery power for Bodybuilder applications.

When the ignition switch is switched to the

ACCESSORY position, the 195 wire energizes the

Accessory Power Relay, PR1. The relay supplies power to wire 195A for the bus bar for Accessory fuses.

From the Accessory Power Relay PR1, wire 0R-R provides a ground connection to the Ignition Power

Relay Coil (PR2). From the Ignition Power Relay PR2, wire OR-N provides a ground to the Ignition Power

Relay Coil (PR3). From this Ignition Power Relay, the ground connection 0R-M goes to a passenger side interior ground stud (number 18 in ).

When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the 196 wires energize the Ignition Power Relay Coils.

The relay coils are grounded at ground stud 17 or 18.

When energized, Ignition Power Relay PR2 supplies power to a maxi-fuse bus bar. These maxi-fuses in turn supply power to expansion block fuses. The ignition power expansion block is used to supply power to optional electrical accessories.

When energized, Ignition Power Relay PR3 supplies power to a maxi-fuse bus bar. These maxi-fuses in turn supply power to ignition bus bar fuses.

When energized, Ignition Power Relay PR4 supplies power through a maxi-fuse to an expansion fuse block.

The wiring from these fuses supply a chassis harness connector for bodybuilder applications. PR4 is used only on VHD vehicles.

When energized, Ignition Power Relay R24 supplies power to a start/ignition splice pack for various vehicle functions. R24 is used only on VHD vehicles.

System Ground

Cab ground studs are located on the left and right side bulkhead, on both the inside and outside. Each stud has a unique identity number which is used for reference in the vehicle electrical schematics. Torque for the ground studs is 10 ± 1.5 Nm (7.4 ± 1.1 ft-lb).

The cab main ground stud is located on the driver’s side, at ground stud 6. The cab main ground stud is wired directly to the engine ground by a 4–gauge cable, and is the ground path for all cab grounds.

The engine ground is the common ground location on the vehicle. The main cab ground, frame rail ground and alternator ground all meet at the engine ground stud. From this common termination point, a fusible link then carries all vehicle return current to the negative battery cable at the ground stud on the starter motor.

The fusible link is designed to protect the vehicle in the event of a short circuit in a high current component such as an alternator or positive battery cable. Note that the fusible link cannot protect the starter since the starter has a direct cable connection to the batteries.

Electrical Pass-through for Cab Wiring

The two main cab cable pass-throughs are on the left and right sides of the bulkhead. The pass-throughs contain connectors which join the inner and outer cable harnesses. The passenger side pass-through contains wiring for chassis mounted components. The driver’s side pass-through contains wiring for components mounted under the hood.

Both pass-throughs consist of a protective outer housing and an attachment plate which holds the connectors in position. The pass-through covers can be opened from the outside.

The cab main power studs are located at the left-hand side pass-through. Torque for the main power studs is

10 ± 2 Nm (7.4 ± 1.5 ft-lb).

The Bodybuilder pass-through may be installed in VHD models. It is present only if the Bodybuilder prep kit has been installed. It is located in the center of the cab floor, between the seats, in the center console mounting plate.

Fuse and Relay Locations

Design and Function

Fig. 34: TEC in Center Dash

The vehicle’s instrumentation, gauges and other electrically controlled parts are wired through the Truck

Electrical Center (TEC). The TEC is located in the center of the dash, just above the engine cover.

VN models built after February 1998 have an updated electrical center. Before 1988 some fuses and relays were located in the front TEC panel. In vehicles built after that date, all fuses and relays are located in the top TEC panel. The VHD TEC center is very similar to VN, but with some additional fuse and relay positions. Vehicles built after February 1998 include accessory and ignition power relays. Also, the daytime running lights module and its relay are located on the single TEC panel. All relays and the DRL module are designed for easy access and replacement.

Refer to the decal inside the TEC cover for vehicle’s exact fuse locations and ratings. (Note that all fuses and relays may not be used in every vehicle.)

The TEC panel includes all maxi-fuses, mini-fuses, relays and micro-relays. Maxi-fuses are designed for larger amounts of current than regular fuses. The micro ISO relays are smaller in size than conventional relays, and the pin arrangement is different. Mini-fuses are also smaller in size, but the current rating is the same as ATO-size fuses.

W3002492

Group 3 Electrical System, VN & VHD

Additional TEC Components

Volvo Engines Only

Located in front of the fuse and relay panel is the Vehicle

Electronic Control Unit, or VECU (standard with Volvo engines). The VECU is accessible by removing the front

TEC panel. It gathers cab switch and sensor information and communicates with the engine ECU. Many vehicle functions controlled by the combi relay on previous versions of Volvo engines are now controlled by the

VECU. For example, the intermittent wiper function on these vehicles is now controlled by the VECU. For more

information on the windshield wiper function, see “Vehicle

ECU” page 55 in this manual.

The central door lock module is mounted to the left of the

VECU. The central door lock module is covered later in

this manual. See “Central Door Lock Module” page 56.

Instrumentation

In January 1998, an updated instrument panel was introduced for the VN, with a number of changes from panels included in earlier models. These changes include the graphic display control buttons, now located on the wiper/washer switch. The cluster is available in 7 configurations, with either an mph or km/h speedometer.

Particular variants depend on the options chosen for the vehicle.

For instrumentation design, troubleshooting and service procedures, see VN/VHD service information in group 38.

The instruments are divided into three groups:

On a truck with the standard instrument cluster, the left-hand instrument section contains gauges for coolant temperature and oil pressure, as well as the graphic display and indicator lamps. Optional pyrometer and turbo gauges may be installed. The Info and Stop warning lamps are on this side, and are used to warn of engine cautions and engine shutdowns. The other lamps are for low engine fluid and preheater.

The center group is always the same, regardless of which options are installed on the vehicle. The center instrument group contains, in addition to a number of indicator and warning lamps, the tachometer and speedometer/odometer.

The right-hand instrument section contains the fuel and brake pressure gauges, and the remainder of the warning lamps. Axle temperature and air pressure gauges may be installed.

Note that all gauges and telltales may not be used in all vehicles.

The lighting system of the VN/VHD series may incorporate different design lamp assemblies for each vehicle type. The headlights on the VN use replaceable halogen bulbs that fit into a reflector housing. The VHD uses the more traditional sealed beam bulbs.

Daytime running lights turn the low beam headlights on whenever the ignition switch is on and the park brake is released.

Fog and driving lights are available. When switched on, these lights will alternate between fog lights with the headlamp low beams on, and driving lights with the headlamp high beams on.

Supplemental Restraint System

Volvo vehicles may be equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The SRS is supplemental protection for use together with the safety belt. The SRS is designed to reduce the risk of injury to the driver’s face and upper body.

The system consists of an inflatable bag mounted in the center of the steering wheel, and a control unit mounted on the bulkhead inside the cab. A chemical based gas generator attached to the rear of the bag inflates the bag in the event of a collision.

Sensors in the control unit detect deceleration. If the control unit detects a sufficiently violent deceleration (collision), the system is activated. The gas generator activates and fills the bag with a harmless gas within a few hundredths of a second. During a collision, after the bag has been filled, the gas flows out through two holes in the back of the bag.

These holes are large enough to let the airbag collapse slowly, gently catching the driver.

The control unit also contains a standby power unit which can supply the system with power for a short time should the normal power supply be broken.

For more information on SRS see the VN/VHD service information in Group 88.

Fig. 89: VECU

Vehicles with Volvo engines built after February 1998 are equipped with a Vehicle

Electronic Control Unit (VECU), located under the fuse and relay panel. The VECU is accessible by removing the front TEC panel.

The VECU receives inputs and generates output signals for functions associated with cab devices. It also converts information into digital data to be broadcast over the

J1708/J1587 Information Data Link and the J1939 Control Data Link.

Note: the VECU may also be referred to as the “Cab Controller” on the graphics display of the instrument cluster, and in some other Volvo publications.

Each VECU is programmed with a specific vehicle dataset according to what the customer has ordered for that vehicle. This dataset is stored in the VECU memory, making the VECU unique to each vehicle. For this reason, it is not possible to “swap” a suspected faulty VECU with one from another vehicle without reprogramming the replacement VECU.

Electrical System

Troubleshooting Using a Digital

Multimeter

A Digital Multimeter (DMM) is one of the most important tools available for electrical troubleshooting. A multimeter such as a Fluke 87 is recommended for troubleshooting.

It provides diagnostic capabilities such as current

(amperage), resistance and voltage tests, as well as specialized features for automotive troubleshooting.

Always consult the DMM manufacturer instructions for the proper use of the meter before beginning testing.

Before using the DMM to measure resistance, check its calibration by touching the leads together. If there is a reading other than zero, subtract it from measurements made with the DMM.

DANGER

Before working on a vehicle, set the parking brakes, place the transmission in neutral, and block the wheels.

Failure to do so can result in unexpected vehicle movement and can cause serious personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Never use the ohmmeter mode of the DMM in a powered circuit, or as a substitute for a voltmeter or ammeter, since damage to the instrument will result.

Use the ohmmeter mode only when power is removed from the circuit.

Troubleshooting Wiring and Connectors

General Troubleshooting Procedures

General Troubleshooting +Procedures

Use Multimeter J-39200 (or equivalent tool) to perform tests. The use of test lights is discouraged.

When troubleshooting wiring and connectors use breakout boxes/harnesses when available. A list of various breakout boxes/harnesses is included in

“Special Tools” page 7.

Never pierce the wiring insulation with test probes.

Do not pierce through seals on water-resistant connectors.

Never insert test probes into connectors. The probes may spread the terminals and cause intermittent faults.

If breakout boxes/harnesses are not available, contact the metal outer edges of connector terminals as necessary to take readings.

Consult “VN or VHD Series Electrical Schematics” in

Group 37 for vehicle specific wiring and connector information. These schematics include pin-out and vehicle location drawings for connectors.

Visual Inspection

Before beginning electrical checks, visually inspect the wiring and connectors.

Inspect for corrosion in wiring or connectors. See

“Corrosion” page 74.

Check that terminal pins are not bent or damaged, locked into their connectors, and properly crimped.

Check that the terminal pins make good mechanical

contact with their mating pin. See “Contact Problems” page 75.

To help locate intermittent faults, wiggle the wire and connector while testing.

Group 3 Electrical System, VN & VHD

Open Circuit

Whenever there is a complete break or interruption in the normal current path, such as a break in wiring from the source of power to the electrical unit or within the unit itself, current will not flow. In a circuit, current normally travels through the wires or cables, to switches and electrical unit(s), such as the starter solenoid and cranking motor, through another wire to ground and back to the source.

A break anywhere along this route results in an open circuit and the complete loss of power. An ammeter will not register at all because there cannot be current flow through an open circuit. A voltmeter, depending on where it is placed in relation to the open circuit, may or may not give a reading.

Checks

CAUTION

Possible damage to electric/electronic components.

Turn the vehicle OFF before connecting or disconnecting electrical components. Failure to de-energize circuits may result in electronic equipment damage.

1 Visually inspect the circuit.

2 Disconnect the connectors at both ends of the wiring harness.

3 Measure resistance using multimeter J-39200 (or equivalent tool) between the ends of the wire. The expected value is <1 . Readings of “OL” (infinite resistance) indicate an open circuit.

If an open circuit is detected, disconnect and test progressively smaller lengths of the circuit until the faulty wiring is located.

4 Test for intermittent faults by wiggling the connectors and/or wiring while monitoring the meter.

Short Circuit

The term short circuit is used to describe another type of condition which can develop in electrical circuits or units.

It refers to a circuit that is completed in the wrong way, such as two bare wires touching each other, so that the current bypasses part of the normal circuit.

If the short circuit is to a ground wire this can result in blown fuses, open circuit breakers, wiring or component overheat, burned parts and insulation and of course non working components.

Hot, smelly insulation is always a sign of trouble. If the wire melts through, there is no electrical path, so the circuit then becomes open.

If the short circuit is to a power wire it can result in components operating at inappropriate times. This occurs because power that normally should be supplied by one component switch or circuit is bypassed by the short circuit and power is supplied by a different switch or circuit.

A grounded circuit is similar to a short circuit in that the current bypasses part of the normal circuit. In this instance, the current flows directly to ground. This may be caused by a wire touching ground or part of the circuit within a unit coming in contact with the frame or housing of the unit.

A grounded circuit may also be caused by deposits of oil, dirt and moisture around connections or terminals.

High Resistance

A high resistance condition in a circuit is often difficult to find. Symptoms of high resistance include dim or flickering lamps or inoperative components (since current decreases when resistance increases, the components may not be receiving enough current to operate properly).

The first step in finding a high resistance problem should be a visual check of all connectors and wires in the circuit.

Possible cause of High Resistance:

A chafed cable where one or more wires have been cut, effectively reducing the diameter of the wire.

An inadequate power or ground path due to corrosion, loose terminals or fasteners.

A terminal that is worn due to excessive cycling

(connecting, disconnecting).

An internal component fault.

Corrosion

Corrosion in sockets and connectors is caused by acids and road salt reacting with the copper. Connections exposed to concentrated splash, spray and wheel wash should be sealed tightly. Periodically check to see that all wiring connections are clean and tight.

Corrosion in wiring is due mainly to poor wire splicing or breaks in the wire insulation. Wires should not be spliced by twisting them together and wrapping with tape.

Several hand crimped connectors are available on the market which will result in a good joint or union, but most do not provide a water tight seal.

Corrosion is also caused by terminals that are improperly fastened to the vehicle. Excessive vibrations at the contact points will cause fretting corrosion.

Corroded wires should be replaced as needed. Corroded terminals should be cleaned with wire brushes or scraped as needed to remove corrosion. It’s important to also check for corrosion in the wire if a terminal is corroded.

The wire can act like a wick and absorb moisture.

Additionally, terminals may be cleaned with cleaning chemicals designed for electronic terminal cleaning, and then blown dry with compressed air. But there is a risk of forcing the moisture further into the terminal or cable.

After cleaning, closely inspect the terminals to determine their serviceability. Check for proper contact as outlined in

“Contact Problems” page 75. Replace any connectors that

are determined to be in less than serviceable condition.

Troubleshooting

Group 3 Electrical System, VN & VHD

Contact Problems

Loose or corroded connections are often the cause of intermittent faults. Intermittent faults are usually difficult to find since the fault must be active at the time of troubleshooting to insure that the fault is corrected.

Wiggling the suspected wiring or connector while monitoring the circuit function or multimeter may be effective in helping to locate intermittent faults.

To check for proper contact on terminal pins begin by visually inspecting the connector.

For the Volvo engine ECU connector pins, use gauge

9998482 (found in kit 3947553) to check for proper contact.

Insert the gauge into the terminal.

Move the gauge in and out of the terminal to check that the terminal has proper clamping force on the gauge.

If the terminal does not have any clamping force, is weak, or loose the terminal must be replaced. To replace the

terminal, see “Engine ECU Terminal, Replacement” page

79.

For the JAE connector pins used on Vehicle ECUs and the instrument cluster use tool J-42449-1 (found in kit

J-42449) to check for proper contact.

Insert the gauge into the terminal.

Move the gauge in and out of the terminal to check that the terminal has proper clamping force on the gauge.

If the terminal does not have any clamping force, is weak, or loose the terminal must be replaced. To replace the

terminal, see “JAE Terminal, Replacement” page 81.

For other types of terminal pins or connectors, use a new mating terminal of the correct type to check for proper contact. Several types of terminals can be found in kits

3947553, 3949522 and 3949523. If the terminal does not have any clamping force, is weak, or loose the terminal must be replaced.

Note: Excessive use of the test gauge will degrade the clamping force of the mating terminal and may cause additional intermittent faults.

Dielectric Grease

The use of dielectric grease is recommended for certain

non-sealed plugs, sockets, and connectors that are exposed to the weather. It reduces corrosion by providing protection against moisture and the elements. Sealed connectors do not require dielectric grease.

Routing and Clipping

Wiring should be secured as necessary to prevent rubbing against objects that may wear through the wiring insulation and cause circuit failures.

When securing wiring near connectors, switches, or sensors with cable ties, leave some slack at the connector to prevent vibration from pulling the wiring out of the connector.

CAUTION

If a circuit must be added to the electrical system, and will carry high currents or frequencies, route it in a location AWAY from the J1587 data link wires 400 and 401, and the J1939 wires 406, 407 and 408, to prevent mutual inductance from interfering with data link functions.

CAUTION

No modifications or connections should be made to wires 406 (yellow), 407 (green), or 408 (shielded).

These wires carry the high speed communications between the electronic systems in the vehicle. Any

modification, connection to, or damage to these wires can result in the failure of the vehicle’s electronic systems.

CAUTION

Wires 400 and 401 MUST NOT be cut or spliced for any connections. These wires are used for the transmission of data for diagnostic messages and gauges. Modifying this circuit can cause these functions to fail.
