ABS/TRACS lights on 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be marty on  Thu Jul 14 14:17 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a '96 850 Turbo Wagon, and recently the ABS and TRACS OFF lights have been coming on. One of my rear rotors is slightly warped, and I'm wondering if that is resulting in some sort of pressure pulses that are triggering the module. Does that mean that before I try to ger VITOR (or perhaps someone else who knows what they're doing) to rebuild the module, I should first fix the warpage problem? These rotors have never been "refaced".... can that be done safely, or should I just buy new parts?

    It pays to have your Volvo dealer or certified Indy mechanic run the codes on the ABS problem. Normally when the control module goes out, the codes indicate a bad rear sensor, which is almost never the problem. If diagnosed as the control module, don't waste time with any one else. Send you r unit to Victor. You can't beat his quality and turn around time, and his price is more than fair.

    Good luck
