ETM issue?
The dreaded ETS light has come lit up on a 1999 Volvo V70 2.4 XT. The car runs ok, although idles a little low and feels limited'ish to around 80mph. The low oil pressure light is also on, although the oil level is fine and car is not leaking or burning any oil and there is no oil contamination.
I had my local friendly mechanic come round and read the codes and he tells me the only code on the car is P1620. His machine could not translate that code, but the internet tells me it is or might be 'MIL required by throttle unit'. Is this a simple case of the car needing a replacement or refurbished ETM? If so I will take it off the car and send it off to BBA-Reman for refurbing as I understand that is the most economical way to effect a repair. |

It might be worth pulling the ETM off the car and giving it a good clean to remove the carbon build up then refit it, clear the codes and see how it behaves, P1620 does point at the ETM though.
I used bba for a refurb, others have swapped out secondhand ETM's or there is the "Rolls-Royce" solution from XeMODeX - Mike |
