how many 02 sensors on 2000 v70 XC?

My mechanic says I have a bad front (upstream?) 02 sensor. How many are there on this vehicle, and where are they located?

Thanks

Re: OBD II Code P1633 and P1618

What module is that? ABS or something different?

Re: OBD II Code P1633 and P1618

I've just read these two codes on my 2000 V70.

I also read P0722, which is Output Speed Sensor Circuit, which reads "no signal".

The symptoms were; check engine light on, speedometer quit working, upshift light blinking in Drive, and slow takeoff in Drive.

Earlier, I had the brake light come ...

Re: Blower motor runs slow.

Success!!!

I got a new blower motor and "resistor"/transistor speed control from eBay. The blower cost $48.73 and the control was $81.38. This was much less than anywhere else I found.

I tested both the new and old motors with a jumper. As I suspected, the old one only ran at about half speed ...

Re: Blower motor runs slow.

Thanks everyone. I'm sure glad I found this forum. Your answers have been most helpful. I no longer feel like I'm shooting in the dark.

It sounds like I need to replace both the motor and the speed control transistor. The problem began with the motor running slow, which may have ruined the speed ...

Re: Blower motor runs slow.

Now the motor will not run at all at any selected speed. I guess I'll have to remove it and jumper it again. The motor spins freely enough by hand, so it's not a dry bushing.

Is there any way to test the resistor? From what I've read, this type of resistor with the aluminum vanes seldom fails ...

Blower motor runs slow.

Hi All,

I've read most of the posts on blower motor and resistor problems but my problem seems somewhat different from those described here. My blower motor only runs at about half speed at the highest setting, and barely runs at all on the lower settings.

What I've done is this.

(1) I removed ...
