2007 XC70. Lots of fault lights lit up...

Post by AylmerQc »

I've posted a few times about my issues and queries for this XC70 I bought last summer and thanks for the help and advice.
I haven't really been able to drive it until very recently due to having had to have a new key made, and issues such as putting in new front brakes, new brake line, which entailed flushing the brake system and adding new brake fluid.
Now I have a brake warning light and a brake problem message on the dashboard, I also have an ABS fault light, an SRS fault and low tire pressure fault.
I checked all the fuses and they test good (with an ohmmeter) and also didn't find any missing.
A mechanic I spoke to said it could be a module. He didn't elaborate but without a DICE unit how could I find out exactly which module, or if it is even that. Is there some sort of reset I can do? Otherwise the car drives and runs ok, but I'm reluctant to drive it due to these issues...

its very possible it actually has those problems.
get a working vida for yourself.
reset the fault codes and see which ones , if any, come back.
you can buy vida on a laptop or thumb drive if you already have laptop.

OK, thanks. I'll go for that finally. I've sitting on the fence for a while...

You won't regret it, makes diagnosing so much simpler.
