Sorry, "ECM" was just a type-o at the end. The "CEM" was replaced. CEM= Central Electronics Module Its basically the brain. Its the main computer. The high speed network is controlled through the CEM. So is the ABS module, TCM (transmission control module), ETM (electronic thrott...

FINAL RESOLUTION: Ok, so this journey started in November and didn't end until February. I figure I would post the final solution so hopefully it saves someone else all of the trouble and time. Here is what I had done: -Battery Replaced -Alternator Tested -Ground wire for battery repaired -ABS cont...

UPDATE>>>> Mechanic has been testing every CAN network component while the car is in the failed position. He says all of the computer codes he is pulling are all pointing to the ETM. He wants to replace the ETM. The ETM malfunctions, its on the CAN network, it screws up the other systems ABS,SRS, Tr...

Hi guys, I still have no resolution. Basically been without the car a ton for the last 2 months. I have it at another shop as i type. Dropped it off with them for the second time last saturday. For the entire week they had it the first time, it wouldnt fail. So, i take the car back home and 3 days l...

Ok, here is another update..... Still no resolution. I am dropping the car off at my second mechanic in about a half hour. -The ABS control module was fine. I reinstalled it and everything worked for about 10 miles and then it started happening again. -I brought it back to the first place and had th...

Ok, here is another follow up. Its been a month, and i still do not have resolution. -I removed the ABS computer and sent it to Victor (it checked out as fine) -I had the car taken into a regular mechanic (they replaced the battery and repaired a fault in the electical line from the trunk to the eng...

If thats the case, then what do i do next??? I don't have my multimeter to check voltage yet.But i have visualy i...

Hi everyone, thanks for the responses. I contacted Victor as mentioned in the link (and other places). I plan on sending the ABS controller to him. 1. Where can i find the E-5 Torx socket. I have called Lowes, Ace, Sears, etc etc. I haven't been able to find anyone around Chicago. Anyone have any su...

Good day, I am in need of some serious help again. I need to know if i should go to the dealer or start with an ABS ECM rebuild. My vehicle is a 2000 S80 2.9 with 120,000 miles. I live in Chicago, i think i have an ABS or ECM problem. A few days ago i got "Brake Failure Please Stop ASAP" e...

So, it looks like Mobil 1 synthetic ATF is all i can find around here. That is what i am going to go with. As for the procedure. I don't have means to suck oil out of the dipstick as in the VADIS procedure that was posted. What i plan on doing is: 1. Drop the pan and replace the filter 2. Replace th...
