Do you have a failing Electronic Throttle Module? What steps to take if you do, plus the latest ETM news. Volvo 1999-2002 models only please.

ETS and CE light with Jerky Throtle but Idle fine 2000 S70 non turbo

Post by Tuams »

Just boughtit today and after 10 miles the ETS & CE lights came on after I tried to accelarate to Highway speeds but the transmitions feelt really jerky like it needed to down shift a gear and is having trouble finding the right gear. It does this every time I try to accelerate a bit faster. Just jerks and feels bumpy. But when I accelerate slowly everything works. The car idles fine and starts fine.
Is this the ETM fault or could it be something else?

If the ETS light is on it’s likely the ETM is done
