Alfred Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 First off my car is 1995 850 T5R OK, so i had this noise on my passenger side front sounding like a strut was going out or the mount, turns out it was the mount no biggy, jacked it up...compressed the spring....me being a newby to the volvo, didnt have their proprietary tool...to remove the iron cross looking screw to remove the boot, but no biggy there, got it off, changed it, took it for a test drive, beautiful...no more rattle yatta yatta.....then i notice the ABS and trac control light come on, which they never did before? So im thinkin a sensor somehow got funked, or it noticed the change, so I went into the manual, didnt see anything on there, only thing is it shows that if there is immediate pressure or if the brake fluid pressure has changed it will come on and then turn off after 20 or 30 mph? Is this correct? Has anyone else had this problem or know if this is my case, becaue i have been driving it for a month or 2 and nothing has come up untill i did this strut mount change. I will not be able to drive it for a test drive for their 20 or 30 mph for a few days..as I just tinted the windows and did some touch up on the outside of the body, mainly trim and such. And by the way forgive me, this is my first volvo i have owned or for that matter have even done any mechanical work on. If you check out my pic below you will see my story. Its a crappy pic but it was only one i have right now. Thanks for all help - much greatly appreciated.aa crappy phone pic, but more will come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeInJapan Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 I'd say you did bugger up the ABS wheel sensor on that side. Were you careful with it when you took it off and put it back on? Could be just the wiring to it on the sensor mount. Others will chime in who know more. ABS control modules are however prone to issues in our cars, but if I recall correctly, no so much in the '95 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply thou!alfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeInJapan Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 You might pull the ABS relay and drive it for a couple of miles and then put it back in. Probably will clear faster. However, while it's pulled, neither your speedo or cruise control will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
