Stalling S 60

Stalling S 60
Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have an 02 S 60 and recently the vehicle started stalling when I left off the gas and was coasting. I have also noticed for some time that when I brake the RPM goes down to 500 and then just before I completely stop, it kicks back up to about 800. The car would also periodically stall while moving with the brake applied. I am assuming there is a sensor tellin gthe car to do this.
Any guideance is greatly appeciated. Thanks!

RE: Stalling S 60
Had the same probelm with my 04' S60. I went to the dealer and a software update fixed it. The problem is cased by buildup in the thottle body causing restricted air flow. The software update tells the thottle body to open a little further at idle.
But, since you have an 02' you maybe interested it this: http://etmsettlementdocuments.com/

RE: Stalling S 60
My '04 did the same thing. I know your car is a '02, but this might help you.
IMPORTANT RECALL NOTICE

outside of the pre-programmed allowable limits, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set
and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will come on.
Engine misfire may occur during driving that in turn can reduce the engine torque, in the worst
case scenario the engine may stall without warning.
