Anti skid message, wipers on, indicators not working.

[Mbailz85]

As well as the title of this thread, my 2011 1.6d drive's cruise isn't working and washer jets aren't working.

It randomly happened this morning but managed to get it to work and back. No power loss though.

What is it and how do I fix it?
Searching round seems to point towards the cem but can't find anything overly for models of 2011.

Get it linked up to Volvo diagnostics to see if there’s an error codes

Volvo diagnostics? Same as a regular OBD2 scanner?

No, at least not mine, as it only shows generic stuff, and then mainly engine.

Going even further, most indie garages don’t have the necessary kit. When I had the dreaded anti skid service required message, by not going down the right route, it cost me a fortune in mis-diagnosis.

Ok. I've tried the battery disconnection to reset anything but it hasn't worked. Would a Volvo specialist garage be any better?

In a word, yes.

Random problems = electrical fault.

These comments are all very interesting. I have a 2006 V50 1.8 petrol (a Ford engine?). I rebuilt the engine (rings and bearings) at 120k miles as an alternative to scrapping it because of disastrous emissions. The rings were solid in the grooves.
Anyway, all has been well for about four years then occassional misfires started to pop up. These got worse to the point where I struggle to maintain road speed. The immediate diagnosis would be fuel blockage; however if I depress the clutch the engine will rev perfectly; but with the tacho sitting at zero, all warning lights on and a "skid control problem" error message. Supply to such things as heated seats go out at the same time. Having depressed the clutch and revved the engine it will often recover and drive as normal. I suspected the passenger footwell "fusebox" (which seems to have more hardware than the average computer) and have cleaned all connections. Diagnosis checking volts at various points has failed to identify any supply to that fuse box being lost.
The way in which it responds to the throttle blipping with the clutch depressed is making me wonder about the throttle body itself.
Any suggestions will be welcomed please.
Many thanks. Kim.
