Volvo S40 1.6 2008 - Codes ADM 0005 & ECM A610 - Fixed #

Posted by Liam Hourihan on September 27, 2012, 10:44 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2008
Engine Size and Code *: 1.6
( Optional ) Scanner Used: launch master
( Optional) Fault Codes: ECM A610 Additive dosage module (ADM ) faulty sign

This car came in a while ago with the engine light on.The car drives approx 25 miles a day and its not city driving and it drives perfectly but the light is annoying the customer.The car has 84000km on the clock and this is the first time seeing this car.I inquired if the additive was ever filled and it had not.
I put in the lit re and a half of additive supplied by volvo and reset the counters ,cleared the codes and then took it for a drive.The light came on nearly straight away.Tried resetting counters and codes again but to no avail.
There are two codes ,1: ADM -0005 tank level additive ,fault tracing information
2:ECM A610 additive dosage module faulty signal
I am wondering are these faults pointing to the float in the additive tank or the dosage module.Any help is great full thanks.

It looks as if you need to refill the additive tank then you have to tell the Additive module that its been refilled. Im sure launch is not up to the job and you will need Opus CMT. or Vida/Dice

Thanks for your reply Alan ,I am open for correction here but I thought that once you reset the counters that it also also informed the module that it had been filled.

Liam,

Does the Launch tool provide any live data for the ADM? If so, what does it report the level as?

According to Volvo's VIDA, the ADM-0005 DTC is set when:-

1) the tank is empty,
2) there are DTCs set for the tank level sensors,
3) possible damage to the ADM.

It does suggest doing a software reset of the ADM using VIDA once the tank level has been verified. Probably the easiest way for you to do this is to disconnect the ADM for a short while. Don't Peugeot's have a similar problem with the module locking up? Failing all the above it says to replace the additive tank.

The ECM-A610 DTC is only set due to the DTC set in the ADM.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Sean

The car is just after coming in tonight and I took a quick look at the data stream for the ADM with the launch.
Tank level gauge activated : No
Level in additive tank is empty : No
Level in additive tank is low: Yes
Level in additive tank is full : Yes
Power supply ADM ; 14.49V
Tank level 15
additive in 1/15
This is a bit confusing as the data is saying its low and full even though a litre and a half of additive was added which was recommended by Volvo.Does the "tank level 15" mean that the full capacity is 15 and and its only reading "1/15" .Will have to have a closer look in the morning but if somebody has some information on this system it would be great.

Rang my friendly dealer and explained my situation and he kindly offered to plug in the dealer tool to see if what it would show up.When he cleared the codes and reset the counters it was perfect , so obviously Launch couldn't reset the counters.The dealer did say that they can even give them trouble and may need to try a couple of times to reset the counters before it works.When I checked the live data afterwards with Launch The Level in the tank had changed from yes to no.Think I will have to invest in a Vida dice.
