Please forgive me if this has been covered. I did search and did not find anything.
Car is new to me... has 213,000 miles Auto Trans AWD. I bought with a broken axle and a missing rear drive shaft. I installed RF axle test drove a short distance and it was great. I did not notice and noise from ABS. Does not mean it was not there... I just didnt notice.
Today I installed a good rear drive shaft and test drove. All is well except for an odd noise. I will do my best to describe.
When taking off from a dead stop at around 5 mpg I get a faint vibration type noise it goes away at 15-20mph... or I can no longer hear it. It also stopped the noise as soon as I touched the brake. I also could feel some vibration in the brake pedal. I suspected the ABS was the issue.. So I pulled the 50 amp fuse and drove again and it went away.
I know nothing at all about Volvos. I'm a 15 year ASE Cert Master tech retired. Retired in 96.
Am I correct in assuming this has something to do with the ABS or Traction control? I have an OBD II scanner... but its pretty basic. not sure how much it will give me on a Volvo. I had no Check engine or ABS lights on until I pulled the fuse.
Are there any common tests to Diagnosis this? Is this a common problem and what are common fixes?
Thank you for the help and your patience.

The ABS system does self test at low speed. What you are experiencing may be entirely within normal limits. Matty Moo, a forum member and ABS module rebuilder, could probably give you a better idea of whether this is normal. If you suspect a problem, I'd look to see whether the wheel speed sensors are all clean.
