TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 XC90 T6, AND HAVE NOW ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE TWICE WITH MY VEHICLE. LAST YEAR AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE SCENT OF GASOLINE FUMES THROUGHOUT THE CABIN AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE STRONGEST CONCENTRATION OF THE ODOR OCCURRED AROUND THE BACKSEAT, PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS CONCLUDE THAT THE WAS A FUME LEAK OCCURRING FROM THE SEAL AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. I PURCHASED A NEW PUMP AND SEAL FROM VOLVO AND HAD THE UNIT REPLACED. EXACTLY AROUND THE SAME TIME OF THE YEAR, A YEAR LATER, I AM ENCOUNTERING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AGAIN. THERE IS AN OFFENSIVELY STRONG ODOR FROM GASOLINE FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE ORIGINATING IN THE SAME PLACE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED. *TR

CAR LOST ALL POWER AND MESSAGE WINDOW READ "REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE". WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAD TO COAST THROUGH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO THROTTLE RESPONSE, SO WE SHUT THE CAR OFF. UPON RESTARTING IT, THE MESSAGE DISAPPEARED AND WE WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR TRIP. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND WE RESET IT ONCE AGAIN. WE STOPPED AT THE FIRST VOLVO REPAIR FACILITY WE FOUND AND HAD THEM SCAN ALL THE COMPUTERS USING THE VOLVO DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. THE CODE THEY RETRIEVED WAS ECM-981A. THEY CLEARED OUR COMPUTER USING THE VOLVO COMPUTER, BUT THE PROBLEM RETURNED ON OUR RETURN HOME. WE WERE BARELY ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF A SEMI BARRELING UPON US! THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS, AND I FINALLY WENT TO MY COMPUTER TO FIND SOME INFORMATION ON MY OWN. APPARENTLY, THIS IS NOT SO UNCOMMON A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2003-2004 S60'S AND V70'S. WE HAVE ALREADY SPENT CLOSE TO $2,000.00 TRYING TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, BUT THAT BECOMES INCONSEQUENTIAL IF SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THE ISSUE DOESN'T GET RESOLVED. *TR

3PE10025 · Central Electronic Module Failure
Opened Jul 20, 2010 · Closed Nov 22, 2010
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Electrical System
Volvo acknowledged a problem affecting some subject vehicles involving water seepage into the plenum box area in the engine compartment.When this occurs water may enter into the interior / passenger compartment and track along the wiring harness for the Central Electronic Module (CEM), the device that controls many of the vehicle's electrical functions including wiper operation, lighting, and transmission operation.If the water reaches the CEM connector electrical faults may result.In response to such faults the CEM, a microprocessor controlled device, will attempt to reset by temporarily shutting down (for 100 milliseconds, or 0.1 seconds) and restarting; this effects various CEM functions including the instrument panel (IP) display, gauges, wipers and also the transmission gear (if it is in the overdrive range).During the reset owners may experience temporarily loss of the IP displays and an abnormal 'jerking' in the transmission/drivetrain.If the problem persist for 6 consecutive restart attempts, the CEM will enter a 'Limp Home' mode that disables non-essential electrical functions yet maintain safety critical functions such as low-beam headlights, low-speed wiper operation, brake lights, and non-overdrive transmission operation.Warning and error messages will also be illuminated in the IP display.Consumers reported experiencing conditions consistent with CEM resetting and the limp mode operation in their reports to both ODI and Volvo.No reports or allegations of crash or injury associated with possible CEM failures have been reported by Volvo or otherwise identified by ODI.Volvo revised the design of the wiring grommet (sealing device) and the plenum cover starting in May 2005 and October 2005 production dates respectively, the occurrence of the condition effectively ended after these changes.A technical service bulletin (TNN 37-35) has been published to diagnose and repair earlier production vehicles using the improved wiring grommet and/or new plenum cover.A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor this issue and reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.
