Wifes 2000 V70 had it's service light come on yesterday. When the light came on, the spedo died for a while and it still doesn't register until car reaches about 20 mph. I haven't reset the light yet. Also, the brake light and the ABS light came on last week and wouldn't go off until I re started the car. Any ideas if these demons are related.

 

Sounds like the ABS Module.

 

Is the spedometer problem related to the ABS module? Is replacing the ABS module something I can do or is it something the dealer has to do? Also, are there rebuilt models if I can do it myself. Thanks as usual Tech.

 

Yes it is usually connected.
The computer gets the signal from the ABS sensors to feed the speedo.

This place does as well.

Very easy to remove and install.

 

Thanks again Tech. Always helpful. One more question, can this be put off for a bit or is it urgent. Spedo works again so I guess module is not totally dead.

 

You can put it off for a little bit But Remember the ABS ISN"T WORKING.

 

Thanks Tech. Always a big help.
