Hi all,

I did search and check the posts there are on this but nothing answered the question quite. So I am going to ask. Hope thats ok.

Volvo XC90 Diesel 2010 RHD. Had this for about 3 years and been driving with the Anti-Skid warning for a year and finally had it checked out. MOT is due and so need light out to get MOT although it seems to drive fine.

Assessment came back as Steering Angle Sensor. Which isn't unusual but is expensive.

My question is whether there could be a real cause for this and actually the sensor is erroring correctly? The tyre wear pattern shows that the nearside curb edge of the tyre is excessively worn, and the same on for offside. So when you are sitting in the car, the lefthand edge of each front tyre is significantly worn compared to the centre of the tyre or the right hand side.

Could this cause the SAS to error? Or is a SAS warning always mean that it is the sensor itself that's wrong? If I get alignment fixed and the code reset may the light stay off?

I know from reading everything that everyone says that the sensor itself is whats wrong but I can't help but think it may be related.

Help please! Can't get an MOT without it

Also does anyone know if there is a cheap code reader that will reset codes and will work with XC90 2010?

Thanks

James
