Spin Control Off & No Power
Hi
Wondering if someone may have any suggestions on this. Have a 2006 XC90 2.4D5 which I went to start a couple of mornings ago and the DSTC orange warning light started flashing as soon as I pulled away. This has cut all power and is now permanantly on. This is now accompanied by messages showing: Spin Control Off Anti Skid Off When I say no power there is literally nothing maybe 2-3mph flat out! Although still goes pretty quick in reverse - maybe not the best temporary solution. Unfortunately living in the sticks my local garage is about 30 minutes out which on current speed would take me about 3 days to get there! Found a similar post on this forum where people have linked this to first stages of battery failure but have done a quick test across the terminals and getting 12.4 which I believe should not be low enough to cause any issues. If anyone has any ideas that I can attempt to do a bit of trial and error fault finding - even temporary fix just to get me to garage. I am also looking into OBD scanners to assist if anyone could recommend one that would be suitable for this type of issue (assume ABS compatable needed?). Many thanks for any help. |

Getting a proper (well it was a copy) volvo Vida/dice scanner proved to be invaluable. |

Getting a proper code read that is Volvo VIDA or compatible will likely tell you exactly what the problem is.
You should measure the battery voltage with the engine running as well - it should be circa 14.2 - 14.4 volts which would indicate the alternator is charging.

Just a thought - how long did you try to make forward progress for? Reason I ask is I had a similar issue with similar warning messages. Car would only crawl forward for first minute or so, then full power would kick in and could drive as normal. Turned out to be an ABS ring I think.
Try again, this time let the car crawl forward for a bit and see of power kicks in. If it does be careful, you will get wheel spin if you floor it and some instability when putting any power on during a turn. |

I had exactly the same - the same symptoms / warnings - was just a front ABS sensor - straightforward DIY or garage job. I've got VIDA so it was an easy diagnosis - I also found that with the initial lack of power after starting off, if you kept your foot down normal power resumed within a few seconds.
My money's on the same for you, though you won't know for sure until you've had the codes read. The VIDA ABS sensor error can also be the ABS ring too apparently - again straightforward though a bit more of a faff. |
