What is the "ECC"?
Hi all,
I've been going through all the fuses in my V70 on the look out for anything amiss. I have found one 5A fuse (I think it's number 26 under the glove box) which blows immediately every time I replace it. The owner's handbook says this fuse protects the alarm siren and ECC circuit. Can some kind soul please inform me what on earth an ECC is, please? Thanks! |

Seems it's the electronic climate control. It's drawing too much current for some reason, so I'll have to remove the unit. Hope it's not going to be a pain!
I kind of notice not having a heater in winter! |

Could be your blower motor? What is the year/model of your car?

Seems ECC problems are quite common with Volvos. |

Could be. Either the siren or the ECC; they're both fed off this one fuse. Weather's pretty horrible today so I'm going to investigate further tomorrow and Friday. Try to find some point after the fuse where the two circuits diverge and test them individually. A simple resistance check should quickly show up which of them is at fault. Hopefully it'll be the siren, because I don't bother locking the car up here on this island and indeed most people here don't either. I can just yank that feed out of circuit and get on with something more fulfilling.

Neither the siren nor the ECC will work when a new fuse blows straight away. I suppose it could be argued that since the siren is only ever rarely activated the most likely cause of the problem lies in the ECC, but there are few certainties these days what with MUX and stuff making simple things unduly complicated.

Do you ever get the "alarm system service needed" or something like that pop up?
The siren is a common fault, the internal batteries leak.
