Continuing ABS / DSTC woes
2003 XC90 D5. I’m have a ongoing issue where I am getting an ABS warning or the yellow traction control indictor is lighting on the dash when driving. VIDA has never shown anything else other than BCM-0031 Left Rear wheel sensor faulty.
When the problem occurs the car normally looses all power and can only be drive at about 5mph. I can normally override this by hitting the DSTC button – Spin Control off. However on occasion (noticed it yesterday) there is vibration as the ABS cuts in and attempts to control the wheels – yesterday- The right rear wheel got hot yesterday as the brakes were applying when driving – presumably trying to compensate for the fault condition on the left. I have replaced the left rear sensor twice now and the problem seems to go away for a while. Granted the sensors used were not OEM – last one was a FEBI Bilstein. I saw a post somewhere that suggested the hub bearing may need to be replaced which is what I plan to do next although I can see nothing wrong with the current one – and no visible damage to the ABS sensor when removing them. My question is that whilst I’m trying to resolve this intermittent problem is there anything more I can do to disable the ABS / traction control to avoid the other trickery cutting in. Its bad enough driving the car normally, but I need to tow my caravan this weekend and it gives no confidence at all, when you either have no power or the brakes are applying by themselves! |

Wheel bearings can cause this, I've done several rear wheel bearings on the P2 and P3 platform which have subsequently cured these issues - in once case after the dealer diagnosed a faulty driveshaft on a XC90 at £880 to replace...
I would do rear wheel bearing next. If you have VIDA - try graphing live wheel speed data - it will show you the one that is being inconsistent and causing the traction control to kick it. It may not be the one that's being braked....
