    Truck starts and idles fine and the accelerator pedal works normal while sitting in neutral. When I start driving I get check engine and loose almost all power. It feels like a derate mode.

    The codes are below. Any advice is appreciated.

    FMI=5 - Current Below Normal Or Open Circuit.
    SPN 558 Accelerator Pedal 1 Low Idle Switch.
    FM1=4 - Voltage Below Normal or Shorted to Low Source
    SPN 3509 Sensor Supply Voltage 1

    You've got a voltage problem. Condition of batteries (new/old)? Got a battery tester? If they are good clean terminals and especially the battery shut off switch. It's a known weakness on Volvos.

    If you shut off the truck does it turn over weak or strong? Edit: Sorry, I just reread your first post. Maybe not batteries if it starts strong but definitely a wiring problem. Wiggle all the plugs at the ECU's.

    I would still maybe check all battery connections and make sure clean and tight

    So it fixed itself or you think it may have been terminals?

    I hate it when my truck fixes itself. I like that it works but hate I don’t know what happened

    Not sure. I cleaned the battery terminals and I did find one small wire going to the starter that had a rub in it. I taped it up.
    10 miles on, so far so good.
     
    GYPSY65 and Snailexpress Thank this.
