TRX & ABS S70 1998

As it was stated earlier.
Your car is driveable when the ABS/TRACS Control Unit is removed for repairs. This is the same situation (as stated before) as when your lights are ON, the system is not operational.
By the way, my user ID is Vitor (Inside joke).
The turnaround time is 7 days from the day you remove to the day you install.
7 days and $400.00 in your pocket (Or in your wife's purse, as this is my case LOL).
Here's more information.
Vitor's web page
In two years of repairing the ABS units I came upon one case in which the problem was related to a defective pump motor that ended up burning (literally) beyond repair the ABS unit.
How is all connected? Wow!!!, short version.
ABS: Sensors feed signals to computer that monitors for locked up wheels under braking conditions.
ABS unit releases brake to allow wheel to rotate, re-activates brake to wheel and the cycle goes on and on.
TRACS: Same sensors, same signals, if one wheel spins when you accelerate, the system applies the brake to slow the wheel until the speed is the same as the other wheels, then it releases the brake and the cycle goes on and on.
