Hello ABS experts,

I had an ABS light on my '98 V70 T5 for a long time that I finally realized, according to all the community knowledge was simply the module. I felt I didn't have the time to pull and repair the module, so ordered a rebuilt unit from FCP. I had it installed at the corner garage - good guys that always deal with the car. Afterward the ABS light went off for about 10 minutes, then returned. I didn't know what it was, but suspected a bad rebuilt module, and on the advice of the corner garage, took it to a dealer for diagnosis. My corner garage felt that the more sophisticated diagnostic computer may be helpful.

So I did. The invoice from the dealer, other than "$128.82", says "ABS-314 Faulty ABS control module"

With this diagnosis in hand, I had the parts guys send me another module. This second module was installed today, and the same thing has happened - the light went off for just a few moments, then returned.

I called the dealer, and asked if there was any sort of a reset procedure that they could do, that maybe the guys on the corner didn't know about. The service writer suggested it might be possible, but I would have to pay for another scan.

My questions:

Is there any kind of reset procedure, and if so, can I do it? can the corner guys do it? Does it require the mighty brainpower of a computer from Gothenburg? If the dealer guys can do it, why would they have told me I needed yet another module, their brand new one at a cost of $900 plus labour, rather than trying the reset procedure (I am sure I can guess that answer)

Anyhow, wise Volvo friends, what's the solution here?

Thanks in advance, Ritchard
