Volvo Forum user Dempsy explains how he tracked down the source of an annoying ABS light:
“I have been chasing my traction control light around for months checking bearings, wiring, sensors, abs module…….etc
So I called the company that I bought my abs module off and the first thing he said was to check the stater ring on the axle to see if it has a small crack. So I took the abs sensor out of the hub of the front wheel and turned the axle so I could check each tooth for a crack and sure enough the ring had completely broke and was hitting the sensor, so I replaced the whole axle and there you have it. Problem solved! I hope this saves anyone the stress of chasing this down.
My abs module would click when I turned so it was coming on and off trying to work but there was no wheel spin.”
