I recently purchased an iCarsoft Vol 3.0 which was supposed to be specific to Volvo and cover our V70. It would not.

Pardon me if I've asked this before, but what is the proper scanner? The knock-off Vida Dice on ebay? Not wanting to spend a fortune.

The current problem with our V70 is the E-parking brake. It doesn't work, the parking brake indicator is flashing and we have the "parking brake service" message.

I'll tear into it but would this happen if the motors have failed or reached their travel limit? I hope to have time this weekend to rotate tires and check pad wear. I replaced the pads two years ago and to retract the P-brake motors used a 9V battery. They've worked fine up until just recently.

About rotating tires, odd that the owner's manual recommends not doing it so "suspension problems can be diagnosed by tire wear." The tires are not showing alignment related problems, just the fronts are wearing quicker than the rear as expected and I'm going to rotate them to the rear.

Thanks,

Erwin
