Default Idiot Lights

Hi All,

I have a 1999 S70 AWD Turbo. The flashing yellow arrow which indicates a transmission problem comes on sometimes. Have checked the dipstick but even cold it shows level above max-hot though I have never done anything to the transmission. (Plugged filter maybe?)

Also Brake Idiot light comes on at times but not always. Brake fluid level is OK.

ABS lights also come on at times but I am assuming that it is the ABS module.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ted

They can all be from a bad ABS module.

i agree with tech. the abs module does go bad. you can get them referbished for around $90. i had to doit on my 99 s70 t5. go on ebayand search abs control module for your car. you can take it out and put back in on your own. if u have patience.
