Volvo drive trim sensors.....common faulty items?
      30/06/2008 21:05

The port leg one went last year and during lift out was replaced. IIRC it just failed and i dont recall it casuing problems with alarms on the EVC.

this time its the starboard one!!!!
#but this time it said (cant remember exactly) something like drive trim faulty.....suggesting it was too high......trim indicator is showing allsorts....leg does trims but doesnt show anything like reality on the guage.
has taught me to balance the boat on its feel rather than the dials...



heres the problem...."apparently" because so many faults......the computer storing says too mant faults.......the evc then kicks the engine into limp mode...switch off....wait 20 seconds and the engine comes out of limp mode....not a lot of good when i am starting a weeks holiday....I dont seem to ba able to go to far without it happening....so a 90 Nm journey is almost a no no!

anyone know a cure?
apart from replacing the sensor, which involves a lift out.....

--------------------
I changed it cos it was too long....to drink and in letters :-)
