ABS and Tracs light on S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Ed M. on  Thu Jul 7 05:18 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a 1998 S70 with 16k miles. The ABS and Tracs light just came on. Is the most likely problem a faulty ABS module?

    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.

      I just used Victor's service. He is very good. My ABS/TRACS are working again. I can highly reccommend him. You will save alot of money using his service as opposed to going to the dealer.
