An EMT is the guy who rides in the back of an ambulance "Emergency Medical Technician". An ETM however, is an Electronic Throttle Module. And there is a recall/software update for some models https://volvoforums.com/m_16238/tm.htm

haha!

Chances are the car has the problem. it isnt that big of a deal, there is a service note on it so if you have problems they will replace it for free up to 10 years 200k

Is there any sign that I can tell my EMT is going to fail? What are the syndromes that is common before it actually stalls the car??

thx
