The pump may run and produce no pressure or the sensor could be badThe easiest fix is to replace the pump unit

cmto74t2 Hi How did this turn out for you. I've got the same issue. Did you have a resolution ?

I'm going to change the oil as a first step. Could you recommend any place to get the trans fluid and o-rings for the service?

Many thanks!

It was the pump that was faulty. I ordered a new one from FCP euro. The delivery can be a little expensive but the parts are genuine OEM.

The oil and o-rings are also available on EBay or from the FCP euro.

Good luck, hopefully you have Haldex 5 system as lithe pump removal is easy. The older system on my 2009 xc60 meant you had to remove the prop shaft just to service the pump.

Thanks for fast reply! According to the VIN from this website I have Version 4. XC70 D5 2012

I'll look tomorrow to see how accessible it is, fingers crossed for not removing the shaft! Aliexpress has some good prices but not sure if they can be trusted…

thanks for the FCP tip!

For anyone else stumbling on this post here's a video I found for repairing for this error code. Looks like 5th gen pump though.

Here is a good video for servicing the Haldex 4 system. Actually all this guys videos are great

ergh fingers crossed for gen 5

yeah i've used his vids a few times. great stuff

sai_man

Gen 5, at least I get a break there!

How did you find that the pump was faulty? I don't want to take it off, service, then refill with oil to find out that it needs to be replaced and need another litre of pricey oil

If you look back at the old comments , Philia Bear said the answer. He is a Volvo Tech.

If you buy from Berry Motor Group (Mark Iceton) he gets genuine Volvo parts so have the two year warranty in AUS.

May be a little more than FCP ( aslo see Ozvolvo FCP shipping discount) but FCP has lifetime warranty but the cost to send back and forth is the killer.

Talk to Mark , they repair , service and wreck Volvo for three family generations. 03 9874 5544

ah so you didn't bother testing, just went for a new one.

I'm going to go with a clean and new oil first. cross my toes and fingers that's it. I found aftermarket o-ring and bolts for $30 instead of $170 from volvo. The trans oil is only $70 from them which seems quite reasonable considering.$

Off topic, not sure if I need to make a new thread. I need to clean my plastic manifold. Have you had any experience with this? I'm getting mixed feedback, about hot water clean, ultrasonic baths and chemical cleans or just to replace it outright..

i've already cleaned the throttle body and its pretty gross in there. I'm at 160k kms

A fair bit of muck in there, will see how it goes tomorrow. Pulled the sump off as well

sai_man

Some fun little springs and bearing under the plate

Looks like the sump needed a good clean

sai_man

Clean now, just waiting for the concrete to get above 5° before I get back underneath 🙂

Is it possible to clear error codes without a OBD2 scanner?

I beleive the AWD disabled error won’t go away till cleared and can’t see if the pump will work till then

I tried the odometer and start button trick but didn’t work.

any recommendations for a cheap obd2 scanner from aliexpress?

jamesinc

The super duper generic ones are pretty good these days, although they still are not as capable as the Volvo VIDA/DICE setup

There's also the ELM327 Bluetooth units if you want to mess around with Android apps. They work but I find them to be a hassle.
