Requesting help ASAP (before I declare this car as toasted)

Post by S70GUY »

To get straight to the point, this car (S70 GLT 00's) was without a speedometer for some time, I managed to resolder the ABS module due to codes P1633 and P1618; one code disappeared, but now the car is in limp mode.All this happened after I installed the repaired module, and it feels very strange. One moment the car is fine, and the next it shuts off by itself. This is already giving me a headache. Before declaring the car a loss, since I don't have enough money to fix major problems.Take the car to Autozone for inspection, codes P0722 and P0705 I need the help of someone who has experienced something like this.

Abs module have nothing to do with it...that it shuts off on it's own.

Problem could be in a CAN network which is introduced from '99 & '00 p80 cars.

Those "P" codes are universal codes...you will need codes to be read in specific Volvo format with proper Volvo scan tool.

These cars require VIDA software to be properly scanned through all modules.

From the video you posted...you also have a problem with transmission...orange arrow flashing.That means that you have TCM codes stored or just a no communication via CAN network.
