2006 S60R Anti-Skid Service Required message

Hi all,

I've read a few posts about the anti-skid message but I'm hoping to get more clarification.

Yesterday the "anti-skid service required" message came on shortly after the "Time for regular maintenance" message appeared. I have just over 84K miles on the car.

I recently had an alignment done (last week) and I'm also aware that A) my front brakes are just about due for replacement, and B) I seem to have an out-of-balance wheel because I get a noticeable vibration around 60mph. I mentioned these items in case any of them may be related.

I live in Hawaii and there's not dealership here and I have yet to purchase the VIDA/DICE gear. My regular mechanic has a pretty high-end diagnostic reader which he's used for some other stuff, but I don't know if that's sufficient to dig into this issue.

So I guess my first question is; can any of the issues I mentioned be related to these messages, and my 2nd question is - should I try having my mechanic take a look with his diagnostic reader or do I really need to pony up and setup the VIDA/DICE stuff?

I appreciate any advice anyone can offer. Thanks a bunch!

$150 iCarSoft reader off of Amazon gave me the proper code (yaw sensor calibration) for Anti-skid on my 05 XC90 2.5T.

Every time I have had that error it was either the tone ring, or the bolt holding the ABS sensor to the wheel hub wasn't tightened enough and allowed play in the sensor. It's possible it was the latter if they were mucking about. You can actually reach in there and give it a wiggle with the wheel on and the car on the ground. You can also ohm out your wheel sensors easily. Two front come land near the brake fluid reservoir. the rear are under the seats.

The most valuable tool in your bag will be a VIDA DICE or equivalent mongoose/bosch/whatever scan tool. It will tell you right away if it's a wheel sensor fault and will point you where to go

Thanks folks, I appreciate your help - I'm going to see what my mechanics scanner turns up and take it from there...
