Now that you wasted money (that sensor was not necessary) what exactly are you asking?
English here would really help, just ask a direct question.
If you want to know how to remove it, you will need a female E5 torx, first you unplug the harness then just unbolt the unit, not really hard, it's just sort of a PIA to get at.
You can drive without it in the car if you must use the car.
You will not have a speedo, cruise or an odometer

Come on now. There's no need to talk down to users like that.

I second that. It isn't that hard to be polite. And it doesn't even hurt.

Don't need to know how to remove it.
Already know the result when removed.
I want to know what the power source for the ABS module is.
If you know, great, please enlighten me.

I'm not sure if the 850 ABS modules are the same as yours, but if they are then wipers, headlights, etc do not run through the module, in other words you won't lose those if you remove the module. Hope that helps with your question.

Had the ABS module pulled today and sent out for repair/rebuild.
Will let everyone know when it comes back in if in fact this was the problem.

So here's the latest. The ABS module was sent out for 'repair'. The repair shop couldn't find anything wrong with it and sent it back to my mechanic. They re-installed the module and couldn't get it to work. So their suggestion was an new OEM module from Volvo. A crap load of money later I drove home with no issues. Later that day my wife starts the car and guess what, the 'ABS Service Required' caution is on again.
Stay tuned.

The right rear sensor showed bad again. Replaced (warranty part) again but no current between it and the ABS module. OHM checked enough wire to string up a house worth of Christmas lights. Finally pinpointed a junction box pin under the hood up under the dash.
Used a nice overlay and as of this writing the problem appears solved.
The wiring in this car has caused me more headaches than I can count.
Rear wiper, 3rd brake light, head lights, tail lights, dash lights and now this HUGE repair.
