My S40 did that when it skidded sideways into a kerb and the NSF wheel ripped off...

Maybe check ABS sensor or cable running to it?

I'm sure I read somewhere the ABS rings can get dirty and that can cause faults with the front wheels

the rear ones are straight into the hub with some sort of magnetic pickup i think

good video here by Sirobb/Cheshired5 shows where they are and what they look like. you can probably check / clean them without taking it apart but it's nice just to see it all disassembled so you know what you're dealing with

sensor locations front and rear:

Also check that your driveshaft bolts are nice and tight. If loose the driveshaft spline can move in and out, throwing an ABC error. Other than that, check sensors, wiring and reluctor rings.

My understanding of the "Temporary Off" message is it is more likely to be caused by an electrical issue. Possibly a low battery charge or a high resistance connection in the ABS module (easy and cheap to replace) - that was the cause on my previous 2004 V70.

I assume the message disappears after you drive for 10 mins or so?

A reluctor or sensor issue would cause and ABS/DSTC Service Required message, and it would be permanent.

But, at the end of the day we can all punt our favourite guess. You need to get the codes read for some real pointers to the real problem.

If you do a search - always a good thing to do first - you'll see that anti-skid is one of the most common topics on this part of forum.

The only way to proceed is: get the codes read.

The steering angle sensor is a common faulty component that gets progressively worse.

Had the anti skid message come up.Checked the driveshaft bolts both loose.Tightened them both up, message gone have not driven it yet but fingers crossed that was the problem. I have now painted white witness marks on the bolts.
