According to http://au.geocities.com/ozbrick850/comp ... volvo.html it means 'ECU faulty' which of course does not make sense with your problem. Are you sure it's a 1-4-2?
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Brake pedal switch is a little electronic switch behind the brake pedal lever that creates an open circuit when the brake pedal is applied.

I have the same code but when the abs light comes on my indicator lights stop working!!! Any ideas on this? What relations are there between the ABS and indicator lights? In the wiring diagrams there is no relationship beytween them except some ground points which are in position and working perfect.
