I own a 2001 S60 2.4T. I've been having a problem where the car begins to accelerate by itself. The R/min gauge goes up to about 1 and then suddenly drops to just above 0. After doing this repeatedly for a few seconds, the car will shut off by itself. Once I turn it back on, the problem seems to go away for the time being. Can anyone tell me what this can be? I recently got a full tune-up and replaced the timing belt, hoping it would solve the issue. Any help will be great!

 

Try cleaning the ETM body. Had the same problem, I followed "tech's" advice and everything came back to normal.

 

Hey thanks for responding! I just have to ask, and pardon my ignorance, but what is the ETM body?

 

Electronic Throttle Module....I think

 

Yeap! Exactly!

 

Are the 01s included in the module recall?

 

Yes they are. I just got mine fixed at the dealer. There was a recall for the module and replacing it fixed my problem. Thank you!
