Hi All,

I'm having some difficulties with my Volvo C30 (2008) relating to a faulty alternator signal and wondered if anyone had any ideas on a possible solution.

So essentially I've done:

Cleared code: ECM-1632 Alternator Faulty signal. Came back on after turning ignition off and on.

Tried switching alternator twice. Current one is a used volvo one for c30.

Changed battery to Bosch.

Changed alternator regulator fuse (under bonnet) - all seems fine there.

Checked some contacts on CEM under passenger side panel. Overall seems in really good condition.

I'm not sure what to do as a next step and wondered if anyone had any ideas.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
