Quick update on this (sorry it's a bit late in the day):-
I ended up taking the car to a place in Sheffield which can do OBD on older Volvos. He diagnosed a failed rear ABS sensor. I had both rear sensors replaced, which wasn't cheap, and bingo! The lights were still on! Aaargh! The Auto electrical guy ran OBD again and there was nothing wrong so the fault had to be in the ABS ECU - he reckoned the faulty sensor had maybe caused some issues in there. I told him about Volvo Diagnostics and their warranty and he offered to ring them on my behalf, which he did. He was able to counter every suggestion they came up with until they said OK, send it back. I sent it back, and they honoured their repair warranty, and touch wood, it's now OK. So Volvo Diagnostics are reasonably priced and will honour their warranties, as long as you can convince them it can't be due to something else. A friendly and persuasive auto electrician helps though!

Thanks for updating this!
I am about to try to get this issue fixed so the is really helpful. Thankfully my garage can scan the car as a start. Hoping it a relatively simple fix too. |

ABS Module/Control Unit: 4 years ago I re-soldered the 2 big/main posts (to power connector). This immediately fixed the ABS fault. This week, I again received multiple fault codes for open circuit wheel sensors and ABS pump fault. So, I wasted much time swapping wheel sensors without luck. Initially, I was convinced that the ABS Module/Control Unit (ECU) was no longer the problem. As a last resort, I properly de-soldered and then re-soldered all the smaller solder joints (inside the ABS control module). This again immediately removed all ABS fault codes.
Note: Dry joints (solder) only occur where the pins (for external wiring harness) are connected to the circuit board. (no other part of the board has problems) Every Volvo of this model has/will eventually have this ABS problem. Caused by faulty manufacture, “Made in Philippines”. Do not waste time on anything else until you have properly repaired the ABS ECU. (If properly de-soldered and re-soldered it should never again cause problems).

Shemtek did mine and the light was still there. It turned out to be an O/S/R wheel sensor, which D&A Autos diagnosed and replaced.
