Hi folks,
The ABS warning light stays permanently on on my '94 Turbo. Am I facing a major repair, or an adjustment / clean-up of the ABS sensors, fluid?
Many thanks in advance,
Stephane

Re: ABS warning light on :(
I experienced once such a trouble during a trip all the day ! So at the end of the trip ( braking was still in use ! ) I checked the fuses and connectors !
Everything was OK .............The next morming , no longer any defect and since a year no more ! ! !
I am still wondering

What was the reason ? probably a poor contact cured by checking connectors around ABS block or in the fuse box ?0448 wrote:....ABS warning light stays permanently on on my '94 Turbo. Am I facing a major repair, or an adjustment / clean-up of the ABS sensors, fluid?

I'm not getting any fault whatsover showing from the ABS system. However the light works as it comes on and goes off as it should starting the car up. Yet the brakes lock badly if you do an emergency stop from 50 mph. Any ideas on where the problem might lie? I assume not a lot of point with a diagnostic from Volvo if the car isn't reading a fault?

Check the ABS sensor on the drivers side front wheel (RHD drive) - these can get crudded up and make errors appear, also check the wiring isn't damaged - it's a think co-axial cable, so may have got hard and cracked?
