1998 V70 AWD Topic is solved

happy_dalek · Post by **happy_dalek** » 25 Oct 2016, 19:43

Before I get started, I know this is similar to other posts, bare with me.
I've got a 1998 V70 AWD (2.4 turbo, of course) and the speedo didn't work, ABS and tracs lights are on. I changed the front ABS/speed sensors and the speedo works again, lights are still on. I changed the ABS module, the same thing.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

When you changed the module (not trying to be smart here) did you get a new one, reconditioned (if so where from) or did you do it yourself?

The wiring for the ABS module/pump can be a little fragile with age and can be troublesome to re-seat correctly.

Car was sold, not my problem anymore. Thank you for the reply, though!
Bought the car for $400, sold for $2000. Went and picked up a '91 240 wagon.

That is an extreme way of fixing a problem. Now we wait for the new owner to ask for help!

It was just too much of a hassle to try to fix. Now I've got a '91 245 that doesn't have ABS to worry about that runs and drives great.

Pick us up in the 245 Forum!!

ABS on the P80 cars is easy to fix and usually solved by either reseating connector or Midwest ABS

The '91 240 doesn't have ABS?
