“Pedestrian Protection Service Required” warning in Volvo vehicles
If you see the warning saying “Pedestrian Protection Service Required” in your Volvo vehicle, it may mean that the PPS system is not operational. This is the system that operates the hood safety system and raises slightly the back part of the hood in case it identifies any impact with a pedestrian using a special sensor.
The pedestrian protection system is quite simple, but it has a lot of electrical connectors that may fail. Also, the system is very battery-dependent and it requires the vehicle to have proper voltage. Otherwise, this warning may be one of the problems you will see happening with your car.
In this video, I will tell you more about the warning and also outline the problems that you may solve on your own. I hope this helps you solve the issue or at least understand what’s happening with your vehicle.
