Volvo Forum + help for owners

I've driven 5000km since the swap, and it's been absolutely flawless it's truly a joy to drive. I decided to swap every last module, my worry was one of the other modules was shot, and causing the modules on the high speed can bus to work overtime and eventually fail themselves. I feared if I only s...

Here goes nothing... I pulled the CEM, TCM, ECM, ABS, ETM, DDM, PDM, PSM, ISM, SWM, UEM, REM, SRS, DIM, and CCM from my donor s80, - Volvo2.jpg - Along with the seats as the psm is there and my driver's sips was an error that wouldn't clear in vida.

Damn, the ETM has to go with the rest eh? Normally i'd be all over it- no question about swapping every last module HI and LO, but..... its mid december in Canada! volvos.jpg - I got the donor car home, I'll start pulling modules shortly.

I've found a MY2000 s80 t6 that I am going to drag home today and start swapping modules between the two cars. I'll be swaping everything on the HI speed loop CEM TCM ECM ABS and ETM if required.

Haha thanks... I found a 2000 I may pick up and swap some parts

That would usually indicate a CEM problem, but I'm surprised we didn't see anything wrong with it. How of...

Haha, yes that makes sense, I'm so used to BRAKE FAIL meaning my volvo is going to run shift and drive like crap, not that BRAKE FAIL would have anything to actually do with the brakes... I ran the car a few times with the ABS unplugged. The gauges all worked for a bit, then didn't. Restart typical ...

I'm interested in more info I'll send a PM.

In the meantime I disconnected the battery ground and shorted it to + and let it sit for half hour, unplugged ABS and reconnected the battery. The BRAKE FAIL message appeared right away, with the ABS unplugged.

To eliminate the ABS module, I'll disconnect the battery, disconnect the abs module, reconnect the battery and go for a drive!

What you're saying about the 4th wave makes sense.

Again, thank you for the replies
