Car Forum / Volvo Cars / August 2006ABS Module Repair
Has anyone had any experience having the ABS Module repair (where you remove the module, send it out, and they repair with the "lifetime" guarantee)? I've seen several posts on here about it, but haven't seen any feedback from someone who actually sent theirs out. I have various warning lights coming on all the time, including the emissions control (which is a pain because I couldn't get my car tagged in Metro Nashville because it wouldn't pass the OBD emissions test, even though the car wasn't producing emissions). I'd like to send the thing out and get it fixed, but don't want to spend dollars trying to save dimes. Thanks in advance for any feedback. > I have various warning lights coming on all the time, including the > emissions control (which is a pain because I couldn't get my car tagged > in Metro Nashville because it wouldn't pass the OBD emissions test, > even though the car wasn't producing emissions). I haven't read anything negative about the ABS repair from people who have tried it on the BrickBoard. As far as your car not passing the OBD2 stuff, have you done the appropriate drive cycle (twice even) before taking the car in for a smog check?  Signaturealex oh yeah, you can clear it out, and it comes back on in no time flat. It's a range of errors, actually, from emission control to traction control to power steering to ABS to air-bag. It's the whole gamut. Brakes have been replaced, other systems checked out. I had the main controller replaced once. There was a period of time when I was quite disgusted with Helga (my car's name), but now I'm beginning to realize that it's not all her fault. Sounds like a design flaw on the ABS controller/module. > > I have various warning lights coming on all the time, including the > > emissions control (which is a pain because I couldn't get my car tagged [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > stuff, have you done the appropriate drive cycle (twice even) before > taking the car in for a smog check? Had mine done about 6 months ago. Works like a charm. (1998 S70 T5 SE) Do a search on "victor rocha abs", and you'll find a lot of positive things for this guy. You take out your ABS module, ship it to him, and he ships it back fixed. Fixing includes beefier components too. I don't know the web site offhand, but it shouldn't be hard to find. I, myself, will end up sending my ABS module in the near future.

I repair a lot of electronics but I've never had an ABS module come to me. I've read the solder joints don't hold up that well. > > Do a search on "victor rocha abs", and you'll find a lot of positive > > things for this guy.

Unfortunately, I ordered an E5 socket online before I realized that he sells them himself (cheaper than mytoolbox.com, by the way). Once I get the socket, it's off to Mr. Rocha. I'll let you know how it turns out--I'm no shade tree mechanic! > I've read the solder joints don't hold up that well. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I'd be curious to know what actually fails in them.
