    Hi,

    I have a 2004 Volvo 630 With 565 ISX Engine. Recently I started to get low air warning from secondary air tank. the fact that the preassure read out drops to 0psi and than comes back to previous Preassure before the drop with in a second leads me to think that it may just be the sensor or wirring to the sensor. Where on my truck are these located? is it the ones under the tilt steering pedal on the firewall? if so which one? or do I have to start unpluging them till I come accross the second air tank sensor?


    any suggestions?

    PS My first post on here.


    thanks in advance
    Nik

    these senors are just above the clutch pedal if you look outside on the firewall the black plastic pass through with the air lines hooked to it. Go to the inside of this unit are all the air pressure senors. not sure which one is the one you want but just do like you said start unplugging them till you find the one you need, these senors are quick connect just like the air lines. Hope this help.
