Jwrape Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I am having the same issue where the ABS and BRake lights will come on and the odometer dies, then 10 seconds or so later it restores but the traction control light stays on. I heard it could be a lose connection somewhere or is it failing? Are these ABS units under the drivers seat or under the hood somewhere?Only had the car for a week. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitor Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Most likely the problems are related to a defective ABS unit.All the ABS control units (Installed on 96 and newer 850, 70 series and S80 models) will eventually fail after they reach 65,000 miles or 5 years. The average is 85,000 miles and/or 6 years for failures.A dealer will charge from $60.0 to $120.00 to diagnose the problem and about 95% of the cases the mechanic will recommend to replace the ABS control unit. Here's more information on this issue and a replacement alternative.Vitor's Volvo ABS website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
