99 S70 T5 - Yellow TRACS Light ON (constantly)

I'm trying to determine if my ABS module on my 99 S70 T5 has crapped out on me or not. Here are the symptoms:

- Yellow TRACS Light ON (constantly) - triangle with car and fish-tail like arrows from back?
- Red BRAKE Light & Orange ABS Light come on at times.
- When BRAKE and ABS light come on, my speedomoter drops to ZERO and the mileage turns into '--------'.

When the BRAKE and ABS lights turn off, the spedomoter and odometer pick back up and work for a bit. Car seems to pull a bit when the BRAKE and ABS lights engage, but it could just be me.

Yes. Talk to Matty Moo at Mid-West ABS for a reconditioned unit.

Matt is a great guy and very knowledgeable on ABS units for these cars. He also checks the rebuilt parts in one of his cars to ensure it is good before re-selling. Life time warranty too!

If you plan to swap this over yourself, it is a little fiddly but do-able. If you are not confident, get someone who is good with cars to do it, preferably with a Volvo knowledge. These can be changed over in about 30 minutes, but you do need a female 5mm (?) Torx socket to remove the 4 retaining bolts. Be careful as these bolt heads do rust, particularly the front lower one.
