1999 v70 xc p0605 & p1618 code.

Replaced alternator/regulator due to overcharging (18 v) which fixed that and codes remained so swapped out ABS module from Midwest and still codes came back and car in limp mode.Any suggestions?
Unfortunately I'm in the sticks so hard to find shop that can troubleshoot and from what I've read swapping TCM on this year requires reprogramming.

What are you using to scan? Most generic scanners won't access the tcu so essentially you aren't finding out exactly what codes are coming g from the tcu nor are you able to clear it.

Using an Acutron pocket scan plus which up until now seemed to clear codes but not this time.Any way to clear stored codes other than taking it to a shop to see if these are issues related to ABS which I just swapped out?

You could try pulling the battery cables for a bit but I can't say it will or will not work. You shouldn't be stuck in limp mode after a replacement either. Flashing arrow sure, but limp mode no.

Pull both battery cables, touch both together for a few seconds, reattach.
