Brake Pressure Sensors
I was wondering if anyone has experience of changing the little in-line brake pressure sensors?
I have the "Anti-skid service required" message on my DIM and I have had my fault codes read showing a faulty brake pedal positioning sensor and faulty brake pressure sensors. The individual parts are expensive and I am going through a process of elimination as follows: £120 for brake pedal position sensor - the one that goes into the brake servo. I've got it, installed it but the error message is still there. There are 2 in-line pressure sensors (pn V30793669) and there are £250 EACH!!!!! I have seen on ebay them available at around £100 for 2 including the holders (pn V3524132) and I am wondering what to do. I could end up spending £620 here..... Has anyone any advice on how to fix the faulty sensors. Additionally, is my error message going to go away once I've replaced the faulty part, or will I need to get it reset?

Have you cleared the codes and seen if they have come back? Not been much help here but I had the same codes and I cleared them with vida and they haven't come back.

codes
Codes need to be cleared, the test is then, do they come back?
Is your car very new and demand new parts ?.Running an old car ,2001,there is rarely any need for new parts ,except for wearing stuff like pads .I recently replaced the position sensor second hand and it was only a tenner ,I think .You can get quotes for parts from Parts Gateway online .Parts are unfailingly good in my experience and often as good as new The specialist breakers will have parts out of written off modern types ,so i can rarely see the point of new stuff and its recycling!

I was wondering if there's a procedure to test the pressure sensors. Seeing as there are 2, I would prefer to find out which one of them is faulty instead of just going through the process of replacing parts willy-nilly until the messgae goes away!

Please could you tell me where I can get access to one of those? I have seen something after Googling it, but guess that type of tool is owned by a garage?

scan tools
I think you would need the Volvo specific Vida/Dice set up to get the pressure values .I have only got a multi make reader which will not go into such detail .The Vida is connected to a laptop which must have at least Windows 7 Professional on it .These kits are on ebay from various sources ,but some are hard to make work ,so i read on the forum .If you search the forum there are lots of references to these kits ,but not having one I cannot advise .
Yes ,this is what the dealers use ,but it would be infinitely useful to you too.
