Yes, the very same problem, getting it sorted this week. Not good news I'm afraid!

Was quoted 'best price' from Volvo of ~£1300 for the new part alone. My local mechanic sourced me one for ~£400 from a scrappy with 6 months warranty.

BTW along with the messages, do you get a grunty/grinding noise from the pump when the traction control comes in i.e. when turning from junctions??

Proper £££££££!
