HOW TO USE SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS

1995 Volvo 850

GENERAL INFORMATION Using Wiring Diagrams
All Models

INTRODUCTION

This CD obtains wiring diagrams and technical service bulletins, containing wiring diagram changes from the domestic and import manufacturers. These are checked for accuracy and are all redrawn into a consistent format for easy use.
In the past, when cars were simpler, diagrams were simpler. All components were connected by wires and diagrams seldom exceeded 4 pages in length. Today, some wiring diagrams require more than 16 pages. It would be impractical to expect a service technician to trace a wire from page 1 across every page to page 16.
Removing some of the wiring maze reduces eyestrain and time wasted searching across several pages. Today the majority of these diagrams follow a much improved format, which permits space for internal switch details.
Wiring diagrams are drawn in a “top-down” format. The
diagrams are drawn with the power source at the top of the diagram and the ground point at the bottom of the diagram. Components locations
are identified on the wiring diagrams. Any wires that don’t connect directly to a component are identified on the diagram to indicate where they go.

IDENTIFYING WIRING DIAGRAM SYMBOLS

NOTE: Standard wiring symbol are used in these diagrams. The illustration below will help clarify any symbols that are not easily understood at a glance. Most components are labeled “Motor”, “Switch” or “Relay” in addition to being drawn with the standard symbol.

WIRING DIAGRAM COMPONENT LOCATIONS

When trying to locate a component in a wiring diagram and you don’t know the specific system where it is located, use this handy component locator to find the system wiring diagram in which the component is located. Then, go to that system and locate the component within the wiring diagram.
For example, if you don’t know the specific system in which the ignition switch is located, look up ignition switch in the wiring diagram component location tables and go to the appropriate wiring diagram(s) which contain either full or partial views of the ignition switch. The full view of the ignition switch is located in Power Distribution.
The first listing for the component will be the full or most complete view of the component. Additional listings will be partial views of the component. Not all components are used on all models.
All components will have a partial view in Ground Distribution and Power Distribution. Data Link Connectors show connecting circuits between modules. Alternate names for components may be listed in wiring diagram component locations tables.
