Thanks mate, really appreciated. Another four trips today, and still no light, so starting to feel optimistic

Good write up!
The 850II app is pretty good, glad someone has bothered to take up the torch that VOL-FCR put down about a decade ago (works for most things but a little patchy). But yes hard to use and you spend a lot of time going in circles navigating around it, will get better with time i have no doubt. Kudos to the creator for getting it this far already. Got my own ABS demon, replaced all reluctor rings and checked everything I can. Very occasionally at low speed, less than 8mph if you brake regularly, and then let off pedal and then brake with less pedal force, one of the left wheels will lock up on the ABS pump, front or rear, at random. Does it much less since changing the rings all around. Used to do it reliably each and every brake application when it has been wet under those exact conditions, new rings it now happens maybe only once a month. No ABS light and no codes ever. Tried to run car with it on live data and getting wife to drive and vice versa but it happens so fast that Volvo 2000, VOL-FCR and OBD 850II cannot display anything fast enough. IN every other way, brakes and ABS fine. Its just the low speed braking but not to a total stop, ease off pedal, then brake again but with LESS force = locking a wheel. However instead of every time, its now 1 in 100 times. |

@Brickman - thanks mate. Yes, agree with your comments on the OBDII app, huge thanks to the Finnish guy who's written this, not intuitive to use but it does work.
Re. your fault, given that new reluctor rings improved it so much, I'd be suspecting a poor/marginal signal from that front sensor. Sensors themselves seem pretty reliable, but I think I'd be taking it out and check that it's seated properly, fully down as far as it can go - maybe rust has moved it up a bit? Check the sensor to reluctor gap - not sure what it should be, but at least make sure it's the same on both sides. I've done loads more journeys in mine now, and still no light, so I'm happily going to chalk this up as "fixed". That's literally as it happens, I have a chalk board with a list of car and home jobs to do, and nothing gives me more satisfaction than to wipe one from the list, especially this one as it's been there for years Still really angry with myself for not soldering it properly the first time I had it apart though....

Finally got around to plugging mine in and it is reporting Front Left wheel sensor faulty signal - so hopefully a simple fix.
Will have a look at the weekend to see if it is a cracked ring.

There you go - the actual symptoms are agreeing with the scanner, so at least you're focusing on one specific area rather than guessing. In my view you've got 3 scenarios:
1) Cracked/corroded reluctor ring. 2) Faulty sensor, or badly located in the steering knuckle 3) Bad solder joints from this sensor in the ABS unit. Pins 4 & 11 in case you're interested. All easy enough to sort, although somewhat time consuming in the case of 1 & 3. Cheers

Is there a diagram somewhere which shows the numbers for the pins in the ABS ECU?

Not sure if this is what you are after, but this is the 1995 version:
