ESC and Tyre pressure Fault !!
Hello team!
I have recently bought a V40 cross country 1.5 T3 2018 model. My car decided to pop up a message for tyre pressure system repair and turn off the ESC. (tyre pressures all ok). I started of course from Volvo, they charged for the calibration of 2 systems but the problem still on! After a day of working on car, they said they don't know the cause and need time to search the problem!!?? I went to a local workshop to find the DTC code and it was the following: C006364 and U041568. We tried to erase the faults, but they come up at a few miles. Also do you have any idea where the yaw sensor(G sensor) is placed?? Does this model have accelerometers ?? Any help would be valuable! |
The tyre pressure monitor on that car works by monitoring closely the wheel speeds and comparing them to each other - if a tyre starts to deflate it shrinks a little and hence the wheel speed increases slightly compared to the other 3 tyres. The changes are absolutely miniscule but it is detectable.
Hence I *think* (rather than know for certain) that the problem will be ESC/ABS based which is having a knock-on impact on the TPS system. Not sure if you have seen these already : https://www.dtcdecode.com/Volvo/BCM-C006364 https://www.dtcdecode.com/Volvo/DEM-U041568 I'm not sure where the yaw sensor is on the V40 but on most (if not all) other models it's under one of the front seats. Unless it is a simple fault - say loose bracket - I would stick with the dealer, I would also phone Volvo technical support, they are often quite good in tricky situations and will liaise with the dealer. At that age I would also be looking for a substantial contribution if it's expensive. |
I had the same issue last year. It was a faulty ABS rotation sensor in one tyre. All these systems, ABS/ESC, TPMS, City Safety relies on the ABS sensor. It costed me 75£ in an independent garage last year. An error code comes in the diagnostic checks which shows the faulty sensor.
