    Changed the fuel pressure/temperature sensor which had gotten rid of my stop engine fault issue but I’m still getting the ECU maintenance fault and when I get it I lose a lot of power....is this electrical? Also my truck just clicks and clicks several times before it will start. Are these issues related? Help I’m ready to burn this #####

    Clicking while trying to start sometimes is loose battery bolts. As in the nuts on the battery post.

    I lose all power almost like Derate when the fault comes up, sometimes it’ll last 20-30 minutes then go away and I have full power....it comes up while I’m on an incline only

    Ground posts? Starter to frame rail? Unbolt clean, tighten back down. Anywhere along the way that there’s a ground, inspect and clean

    There’s a chance it could be the ecu, but I would definitely check all the cheaper but critical things first

    Definitely into the cheaper route first and I will check all ground connections when the sun rises in the morning thank you and I’ll be sure to let you know!

    Really?! Idk this is crazy sometimes it makes no sense! Why would it only be happening up hill when I’m at max load (80,000)? that code on my print out from the dealer said oil thermostat circuit open so possibly a different SA? Idk I’m seriously done with Volvo after this I have 7 payments left and it’s gone!!

    Not sure to be honest..Maybe at max load is causing stress on the engine going up hill. Also, I did find via Google search again that oil thermostat/open circuit. Maybe too much oil is getting in to the engine.
