Just resolder the small pins. It's already open and takes a few minutes.

I've been through three units and I still get the same symptoms.
The lights will go out immediately after start up, but will come back on during hard acceleration or in any situation the traction control would be needed. The abs works, so long as the lights are still off. I swapped out a speed sensor, cleaned all of them. Checked all wires, Even replaced the main wiring connector. The entire front suspension plus an Axle are brand new.
Any ideas?

Many thanks to everyone for all the work and pictures you have contributed. My ABS light was coming on infrequently. I took it off and apart. I could not see any cracks in the solder using a magnifying glass so I decided to just put it back on without doing anything to it. I sprayed the connectors and the metal tubes that the module slides onto(electrical contact cleaner). The light has not come on yet but it has only been a day or so. Makes me wonder if it was just the connectors needing to be cleaned. So I just wanted to suggest that anyone with the ABS light coming on try spray cleaning the connectors before going to all the work of tearing the module apart.
This is on a front wheel drive non turbo. I don't know anything about the tracs issue.

MidWest ABS is Matty-Moo from this site and can be 100% trusted. Good work at a fair price. Don't hesitate.

By disturbing the board and moving it and putting pressure on it you've temporarily alleviated the symptoms by closing the cracks in the board; but the symptoms will be back

Hi everyone and thank you Lee for this post.
I registered here just to say that I took a chance on my 2005 XC90 and went ahead with this fix.
All the symptoms where there and Volvo estimated me 2200$ for a new unit.

And guess what it worked out just fine. The ABS light was still on after the fix but just like described here it turned itself off after a minute or two of driving.

Ive been around a lot after the fix and everything works just fine.
Thank you guys and of course Lee!
