"Tracs off" "ABS" warning lights on??

[Pinchcliff]

Hi, recently bought a 98' V70 T5CD, whilst coming home from work the "Tracs Off" and "ABS" warning light came on, it doesn't respond to the tracs off button. The car was switched off and left for two hours but the problem has persisted. Am I looking at some sort of imminent doom or is their a (hopefully) a simple solution?

It’s your ECU I think? There will be dry solder joints that need to be soldered again I think it was Dac that did a write up on how too sort this.

Just bought a second hand one of e-bay for £80, keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for all the advice.
