ABS malfunction warning light on Airbag malfunction warning message Battery not charging Message No power steering battery totally flat

That vehicle has electric power steering (EPS) system. Plus computer controlled charging system . The charging system has different modes of operation ,when just going down the road the charging system will go down 11 to 12 volts . Put a load on the system an it can charge up to 15 volts, Watch these videos ' That's normal operation.

EPS Motor
The EPS motor is a 12-volt brushed DC reversible motor with a 61-amp rating. The motor assists steering through a worm shaft and reduction gear located in the steering column housing.
Power Steering Control Module (PSCM)
The PSCM uses a combination of torque sensor inputs, vehicle speed, calculated system temperature and the steering calibration to determine the amount of steering assist. When the steering wheel is turned, the PSCM uses signal voltage from the torque sensor to detect the amount of torque being applied to the steering column shaft and the amount of current to command to the EPS motor. The PSCM receives serial data from the engine control module (ECM) to determine vehicle speed. At low speeds more assist is provided for easy turning during parking maneuvers. At high speeds, less assist is provided for improved road feel and directional stability. The PSCM nor the EPS motor are designed to handle 61 amps continuously. The PSCM will go into overload protection mode to avoid system thermal damage. In this mode the PSCM will limit the amount of current commanded to the EPS motor which reduces steering assist levels. The PSCM also chooses which steering calibration to use when the ignition is turned ON, based on the production map number stored in the BCM. The PSCM contains all 8 of the steering calibrations which are different in relation to the vehicles RPO's. The PSCM has the ability to detect malfunctions within the EPS system. Any malfunction detected will cause the IPC message center to display PWR STR (or Power Steering) warning message.

If you are experiencing unresponsive driver side power seat controls and an SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbag warning message on your 2008 Volvo S40 2.4i, it could be caused by a few different issues, such as:

1. Faulty seat control module: The seat control module is responsible for controlling the power seat functions. If it is faulty, the seat controls may not work and the airbag warning message may appear.
2. Wiring issue: A damaged or corroded wire connection can cause the seat controls to become unresponsive and the airbag warning message to appear.
3. Sensors issue: The seat and airbag system rely on a variety of sensors to function properly. If any of these sensors are malfunctioning, it can cause the seat controls to become unresponsive and the airbag warning message to appear.
4. Airbag module: The airbag module is responsible for controlling the airbags in the vehicle. If it is faulty, the airbag warning message will appear.

It's best to have a professional technician diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate course of action. Sometimes, the problem can be solved by replacing a faulty module, repairing or replacing damaged wiring or sensors, but in some cases the repair may be more complex.
It's important to note that the airbag warning light should be taken seriously and repaired as soon as possible, as it can indicate a problem with the airbag system that could affect the safety of the vehicle in case of a collision.

This is the last one

Jeep DTC U0212 Make: Jeep Code: U0212 Definition: Lost Communication With SCM Description: With the ignition on. Battery voltage between 10 and 16 volts. Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse installed. Front Control Module (FCM) is configured correctly. Bus messages not received from the Steering Control Module for approximately two to five seconds Cause:

• CAN BUS CIRCUITS OPEN OR SHORTED
• DTCS RELATED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE, IGNITION, OR VIN MESSAGES
• STEERING CONTROL MODULE POWER AND GROUND
• FCM NOT CONFIGURED CORRECTLY
• STEERING CONTROL MODULE
• MODULE THAT SET THIS DTC

..

check alternator drive belt for tension and condition
have the charge system checked including the voltage regulator
indications are that at some point the car was running on the battery only

Batteries that are on the way out will give false malfunction signals. Replace your battery before doing anything else.

Who told you ?
i was told the only thing left it could be is a bad ground wire but not positive i dont want to spend all the money to find which ground wire if it could be another problem or it there are any other solutions??

The charging system on your vehicle is computer controlled . GM calls it smart charging system . Running diagnostic check on all the modules on the vehicle may shed some light on the problem . Need a professional or factory scan tool to do this . The instrument cluster turns on the battery light when told by the BCM - body control module . A lot of complex electronic involved here , class 2 serial data communication network , modules sharing info on this network . It's hard to under stand whats happening when you don't know how all works .
Charging System Indicator
The body control module (BCM) sends a message to the IPC via the serial peripheral interface (SPI) requesting illumination. The IPC illuminates the charging system indicator when the following occurs:
• The PCM detects that the generator output is less than 11 volts or greater than 16 volts. The BCM receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting illumination. The also BCM sends a class 2 message to the radio in order to activate an audible warning.
• The IPC performs the displays test at the start of each ignition cycle as commanded by the BCM. The indicator illuminates for approximately 3 seconds.
• The PCM determines that the ignition is on, with the engine off or the ignition is in the accessory position. The BCM receives a class 2 message from the PCM requesting .

GM also had instrument cluster problems 2003 to 2006 . Buy a used one for $ 20.00 bucks at a automotive salvage yard an see if that fixes the problem . Without testing , check codes , this is just a guess .


Are You Smarter Than Smart Charging System MOTOR


Voltage Drop Testing the Charging System

This sounds more like a charging system that is or has failed. Please feel free to leave me a message here if further assistance is needed. Craig

hi, this message is warning you that the battery in the key fob is going flat if this battery goes totally flat you wont be able to start your car as its this signal from the key fob that turns the imobiliser off so with out this fob your car wont start so its best you get the battery changed sooner rather than later.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

Your best bet is to go HERE and signup for a free account then Downloading your Manual - service sheets, diagrams, parts lists etc.
