If I may hijack/join the topic?
I have a 2005 XC70. The other day I was driving at night down an unfamiliar road which happened to be flooded to a depth of approximately 6-8 inches. I braked late as it was very difficult to see but went through okay. After stopping about 10 miles later and restarting the “anti skid service required” came on with no other lamps/warnings. The ABS appears to work, but if I do a spirited start the front left wheel will spin which I assume should be corrected by the system. I don’t have a code reader, but was thinking it may be a result of the water encounter. Anyone have any ideas? I could check all the connectors associated with the DSTC but unsure where they are under the bonnet/car. Also when I select DSTC off via the button the button light extinguishes but I don’t get any lamps coming on the dash.
Thanks

Difficult to say, as there are a lot of parts involved to get an anti-skid-message... If you can get your hands on a code reader, it would be much easier to pinpoint.

What you can do without a reader:
  • check the reluctor rings / abs sensors for dirt or debris that came with the water (maybe a good clean helps here).
  • check the cables going to these sensors. Are they ok?
  • check the BCM (brake control module), especially the big plug, for water ingress.
As I said, a readout would help a lot, as it would narrow the possibilities down to one or two wheels, so you could investigate further.

Note: if you get an anti-skid-message there are numerous things that won't work! ABS, DSTC and basically all electronic assistants, that have to do with road grip! That means you should drive carefully, your brake power, as well as your grip, will be reduced and is not supported by any electronic helper! Just keep that in mind and don't push it.

Thanks paddy74
The ABS side appears to work normally but shouldn’t get one wheel spinning when setting off briskly. I’ll physically check the speed sensors, and BCM connections when I get an E5 socket and also see if the local garage can read the codes as they have a multi-vehicle ODB reader but not Vida.
Will have to trace back from the wheel where the connectors are situated.

Check your driveshaft centre bolt is tight on the wheel that spins.

someone can probably confirm if this is the same or similar for yours?



that's the ABS sensors on my car, for example

part 1 is a pickup for a ring which is around the end of the drive shaft

Thank you all. Will check centre driveshaft bolt. Is cable “6” in the diagram from the rear sensors? There’s 2 connectors on the rhs of the car but only one on the rhs and a blank above the one on the rhs (relative the car).
Do you know of an ODB reader that will read fault codes on a Volvo? icarsoft maybe?

if you're planning to keep it for a while you'd be better off with VIDA and a VCX device which you can source through cheshired5 on here. I'm gonna get one at some point, just borrowed one for now. You'd need to run the software on a laptop (runs on windows 7 but instructions are available for windows 10)

you can not only view / clear faults, you can also look at all the diagrams, get part numbers, some workshop instructions for repairs, reset various things, look at live data from all your sensors, etc etc

well worth it long term

re: cable 6 - it looks like it yes but someone else will have to confirm, sorry

First things first. Get VIDA, it provides you with a load of intructions and fault tracing possibilities. VIDA is independent from a DICE! Which means, you can use VIDA as your repair handbook, no "need" for a DICE.

Get it and check for yourself, the explosion drawing provided by stuart bowes is from VIDA.

That should give you a better insight, where parts are located and how they work together.

If you want a reader, go with one from Cheshired5 (Simon) here from this forum. It costs around GBP 100.- (DICE or VCXNano) and you would get VIDA together with it, and most importantly, Simon provides an excellent support for the products he sells!

The iCarsoft readers are more expensive, but you can probably read more than Volvos. I wouldn't go that way, if you have a Volvo, get the tool for Volvo, not something generic. And if you stop using Volvos you can always sell it on, prices are nearly stable.

Give Cheshired5 a PM and talk to him, I'm sure you will find a great deal together.

Check his thread here: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=256681

jinx

tbh installing VIDA without the device is still worth it because of all the info available. you just use the VIN to identify the car instead of reading info with the device

Great help thank you. Will look at the Vida option. We have a C30 too.
