COCORV Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Your comments on these 2 issues are very much appreciated. First issue: While driving my HDT to the truck repair shop for a diagnosis on the Truck ABS Telltale, it would not turn off, I encountered the following intermittent issue. The CAUTION Telltale illuminated and the engine RPM dropped to idle and I had NO throttle response. This condition would continue for a short period and without any input the CAUTION Telltale would turn off and I would regain throttle response. This intermittent issue continued all the way to the shop. I reported this intermittent condition to my truck repair shop. The fault code from the diagnosis was PID:91 FMI: - Pedal position sensor. Current too low or short circuit caused by undervoltage. The shop installed a new throttle pedal assembly, checked batteries and replaced one battery. The fault code was cleared. I drove the truck back to the storage yard and replaced the other three batteries. Days later I started to take the truck out from the storage yard and the intermittent issue, described above, returned. Has anyone encountered this issue? What caused the issue? How was the issue corrected? Second issue: Before leaving the storage yard I did a System Diagnostic test, using the Graphic Display Controls, and the following text was displayed in the Graphic Display (bottom left-hand corner of the instrument cluster). Line 1: Cluster Self Test Mode Line 2: SW ID : 8.80 What does this mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrformance Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 The current software appears to be version 8.80 You seem to have the cluster in the self test mode as well. I would suspect corrosion somewhere in the wiring leading to the pedal. The loss of amps is enough to confuse the throttle pedal sensor.

Darryl&Rita Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 If you still have the old throttle pedal, you can test it using an old style needle meter. Hook the meter leads up, move the pedal through it's range of motion, while watching the needle. You want to see a smooth progression of the resistance. Any notchyness is a fail. The shop should have done this, but most shotgun parts, anymore.

Wrknrvr Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Something I found years ago may help. If you look on both sides of the firewall, on the engine side. There should be 3 ground post on each side of the fire wall. Remove and clean all surfaces. This is on a Volvo cab of your vintage.

NeverEasy Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Any chance of some kind of liquid running down the throttle cable into the pedal position sensor? I sprayed kids bubble soap onto the wire bundle above the sensor to find an air leak. That ran down the cable and into the sensor and made the sensor fail. I replaced it.
