System Overview: Signals

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2009 Volvo S60, 2008 Volvo S60, 2007 Volvo S60, 2006 Volvo S60, and 2005 Volvo S60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The chart below summarizes the input signals to and output signals from the differential electronic module (DEM). The following illustration displays the same information with the Volvo component designations.

Input signals	Output signals
Directly connected:	Directly connected: (power supply unless otherwise stated)
Oil pressure and temperature sensor .	Electrical feed pump Axial solenoid - pulse width modulated (PWM) signal.
Via Controller Area Network (CAN) communication:	Via Controller Area Network (CAN) communication:
Central electronic module (CEM) (4/56), status of the parking brake switch, ignition key position and back-up (reverse) signal Brake control module (BCM) (4/16), the wheel speed from the wheel rotation sensor and the status signal (to open the coupling during stability control) Engine control module (ECM) (4/46), provides data about engine speed (RPM), torque, accelerator pedal (AP) position and the status of the stop lamp switch.	Brake control module (BCM) (4/16), status of the coupling.
