'99 V70 XC ABS and TCS CPU problems?

    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.
