Brakes: Anti-skid service required warning

[ex Triumph Man]

Apologies to all if this issue has been raised before

My 2011my D5 SE Lux Premium has just told me it wants an anti-skid service. The car is barely 6 months old and has just over 4500 miles on the clock.

Can anyone explain why this is and what the rectification work involves, please. Otherwise, car running like a dream.

I have an S40 saying the same, but my car goes into limp mode when i get it. Took it for diagnostics and they said they didn't know what the problem was.

i am going threw the same thing but i have a2007 s40 and its out of waranty.get it back to the dealer asap and get it looked at as depending on the code reading it could mean your bank 1 sensor 1 signal is faulty or not working at all. which basiclly means your abs is not working and in a short time it will affect your normal brakes and they will lose pressure and your braking could go all together.if it is this part and you had to pay for it the cost is around £1200
ive already had the codes for mine and im waiting on a good will gesture payment from head office as ive looked after mine had it serviced on time and only done 32,000 miles. i dont know weather they will pay the full amount or just part of it but get it done now its a known fault on s40 models not sure about your model but yours will be free at your main dealer because of the warranty

You should call Volvo UK or a dealer and ask if they will cover this under warrenty.

My car is also out of warrenty, but there is a common fault in the S40's. Something to do with pressure in the system being wrong which causes this rather expensive problem (in excess of £1000) but Volvo have been paying for this fix. It's a blumen ford issue i think.

As for a 2011 plate, it should definetly still be covered either way.

Pleased to say all sorted! Rang Lloyd Volvo in Carlisle this am, took car in for 2pm and back on road by 2.30. Problem traced to yaw sensor which required re-calibrating.

So if the S40 owner from Ayr wants an answer to his lights coming on, have a day out in Carlisle.

The same problem on my 07 s40sport. I noticed the warning light on, foned volvo dealer in belfast who quoted me over the fone £758 over the fone. I had a well established friend auto spark put his computer on it, which verified the problem (abs not working and traction control off). Also when I turn hard right, slowly it feels as though the front right wheel is tryin to fall underneath the car or the tyre is gonna come off, But nobody was able to verify what this is. I have a feeling tho that its related to the traction control being of as the right wheel is the torque wheel. Also ther car was recalled by volvo for an air control ecu problem which was fixed and they also have offered me 50% off on the original price of £758 for the anti skid service... So dont take no for an answer, be calm in your argument and dont be swayed in your opinion by well schooled volvo staff

I got that message when my friend test drove my car and hit an open manhole in Bathgate at 40 mph. (metal theft I guess) The impact knocked out the yaw sensor and bent a suspension arm.
