Computer Monitors not re-setting? ('pending' monitors) S70 1998

Thanks for your reply!

I was starting to reach that same conclusion after spending some time over at Volvospeed and then speaking with an expert at one of the Volvo performance shops. The way he put it, is that by the time the later MY 98's rolled out, the 850-70 series ECU's were increasingly being asked to do SO much, that they were basically getting "maxed out". He has had the same problems getting readiness status on his late '98. My understanding is that starting in MY 99 the processors are much better - just in time to deal with the dreaded ETM!!!

The other thing I found is a very lengthy drive cycle procedure (from Volvo), which if followed exactly is "supposed" to ready the monitors. Even so, some folks were still pulling their hair out.

But perhaps the VSB "waiver" that you mention, will fly in New York. What is the number of the bulletin?

Thanks again ...
