ROPS diagnostic functions: General
ROPS = Roll Over Protection System.
The ROPS control module has an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system, the Volvo on-board diagnostic (OBD) system, to provide self diagnostic and other information. This can be read off on the VIDA PC connected to the data link connector (DLC) via VCT 2000.
When the ignition is switched on (ignition position I or engine running) the ROPS on-board diagnostic (OBD) system carries out an initial self test. After that, the ROPS on-board diagnostic (OBD) system goes into monitoring mode, carrying out a continuous self test on the system. Continuous self-test on the system. The control module checks for internal faults in all ignition cable outputs and in the output for the ROPS indicator lamp in the combined instrument panel.
