1998 S70 T5 OBDII-USB cable with fdti ft232rl

Post by smartell123 »

Hi guys, Steve's here from Québec, Canada. I just have one simple question that give me headaches all evening long. Got some ABS system issues. Light still on. I'm looking for a OBDII to USB cable with FDTI chipset to use with vol-fcr. Some told me to get fdti ft232rl vag com kkl 409.1 but with some little research on eBay, it says it's not compatible with Volvo's. I'm kind of confused. Can someone could hint me with what kind of cable I really need? I'm DIY mechanic and the car is in mint condition except that new faillure.
Note : I changed the ABS module and pump last weekend by rebuild ones. Have this faillure since then.
Thanks in advance.

Steve

You should change ONLY abs module. :!:
There is a big chance that abs module connector isn't fully seated.It's a bit tricky connector.

What he said... Module only and make sure the harness is seated properly. Don't just look at it, reseat it. It's also possible that you could have an external fault.
