'99 V70 XC ABS and TCS CPU problems?

[Bob Sisson]

My ABS and TCS lights randomly come on, and then go off the next time I
start the car. The ABS also randomly "fires" when going over a large bump.

Is this a sign of a flakey Brake computer?

One site said that Volvo is aware of it, but yet it is still a $600
repair/swap.

Another site will rebuild your Brake CPU for $130 with "heavier" components.

Does anyone have any comments on the problem of the "repair" site?

I would much rather have something fixed for $130 than $600 as long as I
know it is real....

I have a '99XC and I needed a new brake computer. Than a week later my
wife's '98V70 had the same problem. This happens to all '98 and '99 S/V70s.

I have never heard of the CPU rebuild.

I just sent my '99 S80 brake computer to the gentleman at the earthlink
site -- Victor Rocha.

I will let you know how I made out. He just received it today according to
UPS.

How did you make out with the vicrocha guy? I just got my ABS module
for my 1999 Volvo V70 XC back from supposedly being rebuilt by Auto &
Truck Electronics in Florida. I reinstalled it. The engine light is
still on and now the ABS brakes activate all the time. Let me know
how your guy worked out.
