    Warning lights on dash

    Hi guys, took my 2005 S60 D5 (163) to volvo MRG for a service and
    It was given a good bill of health.
    Couple of days later when going around left hand bends the
    The orange trangle with car simble and skid marks flashes on and off,
    And car goes into limp mode, straighten wheel up and it's ok.
    Also the ABS light is coming on, and computer says ABS service
    And anti skid service required.
    The car drives fine and doesn't go into limp mode driving straight
    Or right hand bends.
    Any advice would be great
    Cheers Steve

    Sounds like a dodgy ABS sensor or reluctor ring - probably on the front o/s wheel. Have the wheel off and give the sensor a good looking - at.

    My money is on a speed sensor as the wheels will have minute changes in speed when you turn a corner. Otherwise, the ABS module could be at fault but I think it less likely, might be worth checking that out as well though which will mean a diagnostic.

    Call me ultra paranoid but the Dealers may have fiddled with something to make a job (and money) for them. Don't give them the satisfaction, use another dealer or preferably a Volvo specialist.

    Just check your tyre pressures first this can upset things,if you have a soft tyre.
