Brakes: Abs

[ned]

v70 awd r 2003 Japanese import

My ABS warning light has been coming on intermittently
No at start up the light is off then goes on and the digital odometer reads blank

this turns off the awd on the car

code reader reads P0571

the engine warning light came on cruise control code came up

grateful for any thoughts

also has anybody got a vida code reader in glasgow south area

regards

First thing I would check is the ABS reluctor rings at the front. They are prone to corrosion and they expand and crack which sends the ABS system wacko - the cruise control is linked to this as well I believe.

Get a torch and get under the car , look inside the back of the front hubs where the driveshaft goes through the hub carrier and you should see the castellated rings. If they look rusty/uneven/gunked up they will likely need changing. Not too bad a job, you can buy the rings for about £20 on ebay and a couple of hours to change - how to videos on Youtube.

Off topic, but is it indeed a 2003 V70R ? Does the SRS inspection sticker on the rear left door sill say 2013 ?

interesting this says 2014

does this make a difference

Then it's a 2004. The R model was introduced in 2004 so that makes sense. The inspection SRS sticker is meant for inspecting the system after 10 years - so 10+production year = 2014 - note that this SRS inspection at 10 years is no longer required by Volvo

thanks guys

the plot thickens

today from cold start lights all off drove 5 miles to work no lights

back on again this pm

also could this be a cruise control thing only the buttons for radio/cruise on the steering wheel seem to have stopped working properly and when i turn the wheel had the radio jumps station like I've touched the button

relevant or not

Cheers
