XC90 Keyless Entry Failure

Keyless access on the driver's door of my 2012 Volvo XC90 gasoline has stopped working. I scanned it and got an error related to the door handle electronics. Anyone seen this before? Could it be a wiring issue, or is it a bigger problem with the door?

The keyless entry on the driver's door of a 2012 Volvo XC90 stopped working, with a scan revealing an error related to the door handle electronics. A possible cause suggested was a defective cable or plug connection to the door actuator, particularly in the wiring harness between the door and the body, which is a known failure point. The solution involved checking for broken wires or corroded connector pins, and a workshop visit confirmed a defective cable connection, which was repaired.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Possible defective cable or plug connection to the door actuator. Have you checked the wiring harness that passes between the door and the body? These are known to fail.

Thanks, I haven't checked the harness yet. Is that a common failure point on the XC90? Should I look for broken wires or a loose connection in the plug?

Yes, it is a known weakness. Check for both broken wires and corroded connector pins. If inaccessible, a workshop visit is recommended.

Thanks! I took it to a local workshop, and the cable connection was indeed defective, just like you said. The repair cost 95€.
