V60 Terminal 15 Ignition Error

I've got a 2023 Volvo V60 hybrid, and I'm running into a frustrating issue. The car refuses to start, and the diagnostics are throwing a 'Terminal 15 ignition positive interrupted' error. The error memory is storing the issue, but that's about it. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection, but I'm not sure where to start looking. Has anyone experienced something similar with their V60? I've checked the usual suspects – ignition switch, relay switch, fuse box, and even the starter solenoid. Power supply seems okay at first glance.

I had a somewhat comparable problem with my V60, though not the hybrid version. The symptoms sound very similar – engine wouldn't start, and it pointed to an ignition issue. I'm curious, did you check the smaller fuses in the fuse box thoroughly? Sometimes it's not the big components but a tiny fuse causing the headache.

Thanks for the input. Yes, I did check the fuses, but I'll double-check to be absolutely sure. When you say ignition issue, was it also related to Terminal 15? And do you recall which fuse or area was the culprit in your case?

I don't remember the exact terminal number, unfortunately. It was definitely linked to the ignition circuit though. Honestly, after a bit of poking around, I gave up and took it to a workshop. They traced it to a corroded connector in the engine bay, apparently a common issue. Might be worth having a professional take a look.

Appreciate the insight. It's good to know it might be something relatively simple like a corroded connector. I will take it to a workshop; it seems to be the most reasonable solution. The eventual repair was 95€. Thanks again!
