I have been told by a local shop that the reason my ABS light is on is due to the ABS pump? Could this be a ABS controller unit problem or is it the pump? Can an experienced Novice replace this himself? Any ideas on were I can get one?

I am 99.9% sure it is the module.

 

I have same problem and the service light also on. please advise which module is not working

 

............the ABS module. There are several postings on this site for less costly rebuilds.

 

............Oh, and there a several postings on how to reset your 'service' light. simply queery the search feature.

 

Thanks REG (BTW did you get my PM?)

 

TECH, yes I received your email and responded. I sent it from my email and not the 'site's' email.................you shoud have received it. If not, send it again and I can respond although the quick answer to you was: "no, I don't know those people". Let me know and I can resend.

No Biggie you still answered the quiestion.

 

yes, it's the module. I have a 99 s80 and a 00 s70. i have the problem on both. does your STC light come on as well? it's all in the same module. it should be fairly easy to remove, here's the link of the people i'm about to send mine to. i'm doing the s80 next thursday & hopefuly if it works i'll do the s70 as well. on my s80, the cruise control dosen't work sometimes, i hear they are related. the s70 dosen't seem to be as bad yet, the light barely comes on, the s80 is on all the time!
will let you know how it goes,

I had to replace the ABS Module on my 1998 S70 GLT about a year ago. The ABS Light came on, but the ABS appeared to be working. After I gave in and bought a rebuilt ABS Control Module I discovered that there was a huge difference in the ABS performance. With the faulty (old) module the ABS would kick in, but with the replacement (rebuilt) module the ABS truly worked and you cold feel the difference. Don't be fooled by ABS that appears to be working.

 

well i send it in on saturday. im driving the s80 without the module & the dash looks like a xmas tree!
hopefully i'll get it back soon, but i think it woun't be untill next friday. if you do use these guys take the faster shipping

 

How much did the reconditioning/rebuild cost you? When I did mine, I bought a rebuilt unit and sent in my core when I received the new one. I think it cost me around $160.

 

I have a '99 S70 GLT with very similar problems with the ABS light coming on, Trac Control light coming on/revving engine and the speedometer dropping offline. Have any of you had these problems along with your ABS failures (reference these posts: https://volvoforums.com/m_15891/tm.htm or https://volvoforums.com/m_39735/tm.htm)? How have the repairs gone thus far? How about ETS lights coming on? Any info on ABS module costs would be helpful too!

 

i had a friend who's 99 s80 (33k miles) had both the abs & ETS modules bust out at the same time! I just got my rebuilt one back, will put it in tonight & let you guys know if it fixed the problem

 

so i put the s80 module back in. all the lights are off now so i guess the rebuilt works good! the only thing is the cruise control isn't working. i need to email those guys & ask them what's up with that. but there are no codes anymore. we'll see how the car does in the next few days.

 

There might be a codes stored in the engine module but the light not be on.

That will stop the cruise from working.

 

everything works great this morning, i guess it needed time to clear the codes.
