Default need help with 2000 Volvo s40, abs light and speedometer not working


Just purchased this Volvo today and having some problems already.
The speedometer does not work and also the abs light is on. i drive the car and miles do not register plus I can not tell how fast I am going.
thanks for all the help in advance.

Default abs mod.

www.ipdusa.com

give them the car model and they may be able to get you handled but I just went through this with my 2000 V70 xc... $250 for a refurbished abs module and I am golden... had the same problem to start, no odom. and abs light on... then trany wouldn't reset transmission when I stopped so it would try to start me out in 3rd or 4th gear. I had to manually shift into low to get going. Replaced my abs mod. and everything is all good. actually drives like a new car. snappy shifts and nothing else weird.

They may need the numbers off of your actual abs unit which is a little difficult to get to but I pulled my old one and reinstalled the new one in under an hour. Let me know if you have any questions. More then happy to get a phone call to even walk you through it. Dealer wanted $1100 to do the work with a refurb and 1700 for a factory new one.

Just had a thought... check your car against the recall list through volvo. Could be a wheel speed sensor. I had mine replace under the recall at 100k roughly.
