my brake fluid is dark (for brake fluid) and is likely original (mostly).

the brake fade is something i have NOT experienced in the volvo, but my old ford exploder had a manual tranny and it would get the brakes good and smelly/hot down this mountain and the pedal would start feeling softer so i'd downshift to avoid any trouble. (i had fresh brake fluid it that one tho...)

i have read about the rust/wire brush cleaning for the sensors and will check that out if the codes come back.

is it uncommon for this many codes to "pop" with one event? they all seem related in the descriptions and it makes me wonder if the computer just "hiccuped/glitched" i guess i will find out when i drive later today. (duh)

with this tranny (and 160+k miles) is a downshift on steep hills something to avoid? i have a few mountains with 5% and steeper grades around here in roanoke, va and generally use "3" while ascending and descending them.
