Well, high idle has to be enabled - some fleets have it disabled. If it isn't disabled, it's more the same as on any other semi.. doesn't matter if you have a Volvo or Cummins engine (or Cat prior to 09, or Detroit prior to 2003). With the parking brakes set, and no pressure on the clutch (if you have one) or brake pedals (position must be at absolute zero... same thing with regens), then you just press the "Resume/Accel" button and it'll bump up your idle. On Volvos, this is typically on the end of the turn signal/mulitifunction switch on the left side of the steering column. Exactly what this will do for you depends on a number of things... it may or may not bypass an idle shutdown timer, depending on how stringent the company was when they had the parameters set in the ECM.
On our 2005 Volvo 670, there is a little pull ring on the floor in front of the feet area, up under the dash area. Hope this helps. I have a 2007 Volvo......how do you open the hood Semi Truck
I'm not sure what year or model of the car but if its somewhat new meaning about 1994. Then the computer does it and there is no adjustment. If you getting a rough or low idle it is probably time for a tune-up. If tune-up doesn't work you may have to replace idle control valve, up to 1989 there was an idle adjustment knob on throtle body for fine tunning.
The idle shutdown mechanism depends on how the ECM is set up... there are many ways this can be done. Running it at high idle might or might not override the idle shutdown, dependent on how the parameters are set. If you have ambient air temperature override, you can tape a hand warmer to the temperature sensor.
The Volvo D16 engine outside of the North American market is available with up to 750 horsepower.
Right now, it seems like a toss up between the Volvo I-Shift and the Allison TC10.
It means you should go to a shop which has the appropriate software for your engine, and have them look up faults.
It's programmed into the ECM. There's a number of ways people attempt to do this, but how successful they are depends on the ECM programming. You can try putting the vehicle into high idle... sometimes that works... you put the cruise control on while the vehicle is parked and the brakes are engaged, then use the "Resume/Accel" button to increase the idle. However, a company might disable this feature, or set up the ECM so that the idle shutdown timer remains in effect while in high idle. You can try keeping your trailer brakes locked and your tractor brakes released.. it may or may not work, again dependent on what's programmed into the ECM.
you can find out if you look it up, but off the top of my head i'm 99% sure it was all the different Volvo's.
lift up your bangs, twist them, and then pin them backor buy 'Bump it'
Depends on how it's programmed. Electronic motors can be set up with an idle shutdown timer which can be set at whatever interval the person doing the programming wishes. If there is no idle shutdown timer, the truck can idle until it's out of fuel. Idling is not a recommended practice, however - at low idle, insufficient force is generated by the pistons to force all of the carbon (a byproduct of fuel combustion) out of the pistons, and the end result is a carbon ridge which forms at the top of the cylinder.
Probably not. They would have to be clogged solid not to let engine idle in which case the engine would not run at any speed. If they were semi-clogged the engine would idle but hold engine back from revving up.
The idle rich or washed up or between films.
