Okay...

 

Guess what.... I got the BRAKE FAILURE STOP.... ; car skidding; ABS; BRAKE. Yellow Triangle...etc.
So I tried to disconnect the battery for five mins...nothing Messages still there. Then I moved on and gave the car a jump with my friend truck. turned the ignition swtich three times and it fired up. I drove the car for about 10 miles and then the RPM gauge start working, and then miles later then speedometer worked but the messages remain. I also notice the CHECK ENGINE was on for a few miles. I stopped at Auto Zone check then battery and alternator... test to be good. Could my ABS MODULE be bad? How can I get rid of the messages BRAKE FAILURE............: BRAKE, etc.

 

You will need to have the ABS codes read and cleared by someone that can read those systems. I would get them cleared and see if they come back.

 

Do you know if a CEM can be repaired?
You know what I had a problem with my low beam lights. I use to have the the Bulb Failure Dipped Beam message before.... today I bought the resistor from VOLVO for like 11.00 and nothing... the low beam lights don't even turn on.
And yeah I've driving the car today and nothing is going wrong besides the messages are still there.

So any shop that works on european cars can do it if they have the to clear the codes right; because I don't want to go to the dealership

 

A volvo specilist should be able to clear them. Im not sure about the Cem being repaired I have never opened one. Are you sure the resistor is in the right hole?

 

Yeah.... I put it back in just like it was. If not I would take another look and make sure.

 

Let me know.Also check the fuses.

 

So I check the RESISTOR and the FUSES... GOOD... and I also checked the bulbs good.. what else can I check?
Back to the ABS MODULE: there's two connectors to the ABS MODULE.... if one is not connected right would it cause messages to show up? How tight do the 4 screws go?

 

The 4 screws snug. Yes if one of the plugs arent all tight it could set a code. Did you check for power to the headlights?

 

No... I have not checked the power on the headlights...and about ABS Module I would check all the screws again.

 

Ok let me know.

 

UPDATE on the ABS MODULE. Well I sent the part to BBA REMAN in MA and they found it was faulty. Rebuild it in a day and got it the next day UPS. But anyhow I just installed it back in- Now I get STC SERVICE REQ, ABS SERVICE REQ, car skidding, ABS. Good thing that the BRAKE FAILURE STOP ASAP, Orange TRIANGLE, BRAKE messages are not on anymore. Can I reset the messages I have showing up now?

 

The codes will need to be cleared by someone that can read the ABS codes.

 

Where can buy the (4) bolts and the power connectorthat go on the ABS MODULEonline?

Try there. If not let me know I might be able to atleast dig up the screws for you.
What happened to the power plug?
Are you talking about the bigger plug?

 

Well, you know there's two connectors to the ABS MODULE. A small black one which is the power one? It doesn't sit all the way down when I connect it anymore. And about the blue connector with a lot a wires to it I broke off the black cap or cover.

 

The small one is for the pump motor.
The bigger one is the main one. Even if the cover breaks you can slide the arms on the side and still lock the connector down.
I have seen them like that many times when changing out ABS modules and customers don't want to fix them.
For the small one maybe something in the hole? If it doesn't go in all the way something must be wrong.

 

It goes down all the way but it doesn't stay all the way down.

 

Are the tabs broke off the sides?
If so then I don't think you can get a replacement plug for it. That plug comes off the pump motor.

 

Do you have any spare ones? The blue connector is hard to replace?
