ABS & TRACS OFF lights on at the same time... S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Levi on  Thu Apr 28 17:52 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I drive a 1998 S70, 114K miles. Lately the TRACS OFF and ABS lights have been coming on at the same time and going off at the same time. Sometimes they come on when you start the car up and don't go off at all, then you'll restart the car after a trip and they'll stay on for 10mins and go off... then they might come back on 5 mins later and then go off after a minute. It's really random and doesn't seem to have any logic behind it. Sometime they won't come on for 2 days, but then the next day they will be back on and off, on and off. The last person to read the codes said that none were produced, I'm not too sure of that though.

I've heard about this happening to other cars, but not Volvos. Is this some sort of electrical gremlin? The car still keeps accurate mileage and nothing seems wrong when I use the brakes (ABS still seems to work). What gives?
