00 s80 Bad ECU?

[muddblood]

So...bad ECU. What options do I have? I know I cannot get a used one and throw it in. Is my best bet here: http://www.volvoecm.com?

I wish I would have seen this thread when you posted this. Avoid this place at all cost, that goes for anybody. ALWAYS Google a business first. You would have been out several hundred dollars plus your ecm.

I found a used one on ebay for like $25, bought my own Vida/Dice setup and had doublebug clone the ECU. Works perfect now!! But thanks for the advice!!! Now on to other issues, GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Hello!

I had the exact same issue with my 2001 S60 I run for lemons, based on number of issues, and what codes were displayed. I didn't have time to replace the ECU (Or the money), so I fixed the ECU. Super easy if you have a fine soldering iron, flux, and leaded solder. I post about it here: [https://ab1tj.com/fixing-a-volvo-s60-ecu/]. Basically I found a burned trace on the ECU. This trace, I assume, powers the IAT, MAP, MAF, and something in the AC system. Turns out I shorted a line in the AC system, a sensor on the front near the accumulator. I didn't find anyone else fixing this, and this was the thread I came across when I googled, so I figured I'd post that here.
