1) Use Volvo Scan Tool (998-8686-3) to diagnose system. Ensure correct power seat memory module is used in scan tool. Scan tool must be connected to Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located on center console in front of shift lever.
2) When DIAGNOSTIC TEST is selected, scan tool will display a maximum of 8 Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) set by control module.
See POWER SEAT DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES table. If no DTCs are set, use
EXIT to return to function menu.
3) DTCs cannot be erased until all have been displayed. Press EXIT once to return to function menu. A NOT PERMITTED message will appear if an attempt is made to erase DTCs before all have been read. After DTCs have been erased or if there are no DTCs, display will read NO DTC:S FOUND. Press ENTER button to confirm. Scan tool checks with control module memory and indicates all DTCs have been erased.
