Hi all,

I have 2006 S40, 1.8 petrol 126hp.
I have had this issue for the last few months. My el.power steering pump just died. I`ve changed the pump several times, the angle sensor, fluid levels are ok, new alternator and battery...
Pump was working every time after I would change it and just randomly die after few weeks.
I`ve got the error saying that communication with the power steering module is missing.


Does anyone know what might be the next thing to look into? Could it be - or + exposure or central computer needs to be programmed because of the new sensor and pump?

 

Hey, got the exact same issue. Did you ever find out what it was? same car, cheers

 

Yes changing any of components on the S40 gen 2 seems to be problematic , they all need to be programmed to work with the main ecu , its a big problem as you need the software to marry them , othewise they are divorced and cost lots to fix , they want you to marry them and pay ridiculous prices from agents , not uncommon on most new cars
