hgray14 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I have figured out the part number for my 2005 Volvo XC70 (no DSTC) ABS module and am looking to purchase a used one to replace mine. (I will confirm the part number prior to ordering but first wanted to do a quick check online for prices before tearing the car apart.) 1) If I get an ABS module from the same year/model as my car, will it have the proper programming or will I still need to head to the dealer? 2) If it does not need to be same year/model as my car but just the same part number, are their any other concerns if I get one from a different year or model? (I am aware that there are services where I can ship mine in for repair and where they will send me fully-programmed ones for my specific vehicle. However, if I can go with a used one, it appears I can save a lot of money. I have kept the costs down on this car and am hoping to continue to do so.)

Ihatespeedbumps Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 The ABS unit on an 05 is not hot swapable. You'll need to install a new unit or send it out to a repair facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgray14 Posted August 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Can I drive the car while the ABS module is out at the repair shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ihatespeedbumps Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 BCM is part of the high speed network, you cannot drive the car with the module out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
