The stability system does engage when engine turned on but it is supposed to activate when connected with engine off so you can watch it activate and go through check sequence and light changes to steady green when you plug towing electrics in. The Alko trailer stability sytem instructions say it MUST be connected to pin 9 as a permanent live but Volvo will not do this. |

I would have thought that XC90 wiring systems including the plug & play connector block for towing electrics will be the same across the SPA range, but I will check with Holdcroft's Service Manager as he attends our VOC local meetings and he has arranged a dealer workshop visit for our November 13th meeting.

As casell, my dealer fitted my XC90 with the towball and full electrics including permanent live on pin 9. Maybe this was because I gave them a copy of the wiring of 13 pin wiring diagram as when they had fitted a towbar to my mk 1 XC90 they messed it up.
I have also had problems in the past with towing electrics fitted by car dealers so now make a point of giving them the specification I expect them to use.

It is a useful way of connecting a battery charger when parked on the driveway, direct plug in without having to open the bonnet.

My son had the same issue with his new Discovery towing electrics but they connected pin 9 up when he took it back. But Volvo did not want to do it and said they could not reccommend it. I will take this back up with my service manager. Last edited by nu11eaf; Nov 5th, 2017 at 10:24. |

I had one of my dealer service cars and also noticed the cut out which I was surprised about.

Update: took car in today and it was a missing fuse, now fitted and pin 9 now permanent live, caravan traction control now connects up and goes through check sequence as it should without engine running.
