Unfortunately, ABS unit failure affects both the first-generation (2002-2014) and second-generation (2015 onwards) XC90. Common signs that your Volvo XC90’s ABS pump and module is in need of repair vary between generations and specific control units. However, it’s common to experience symptoms like illuminated ABS, ESP, and traction warning lights or erratic braking behaviour, such as the calipers sticking.

Thankfully though, we’ve been remanufacturing ABS control units since 2005, so yours is in safe hands with us. Our process is carried out in just 0.49% and we’re ISO 9001 (quality management) certified.

To have your Volvo XC90’s ABS pump and module tested by the experts, fill out our short test form. Our process takes just 2-3 working days and we’ll keep you covered with an unlimited-mileage lifetime warranty.

How to tell your Volvo XC90’s ABS pump & module is in need of repair
The symptoms of an ABS unit fault depend on which unit your XC90 is fitted with.

The first-generation Volvo XC90 is fitted with an ABS module which is particularly susceptible to internal component degradation. Like many mass-produced automotive control units, these units are comprised of components that often aren’t durable enough to stand the tests of time.

This frequently causes the ABS unit to fail sooner than you’d expect. When this happens, expect to be alerted to an ABS-related issue by the instrument cluster. For example, it’s likely that the ABS, traction control, or ESP warning light will illuminate, or a ‘brake failure stop safely’ message will appear. Further signs that this particular Volvo XC90 ABS unit is in need of repair include pump-related DTCs like 0070, or the module refusing to communicate at all.

On the other hand, when an ABS pump and module is in need of repair in a second-generation Volvo XC90, a slightly different set of symptoms will materialise. These ABS units often fail as a result of a design flaw which disrupts the regulation of hydraulic pressure. In many cases, this causes the Volvo XC90’s brake calipers to stick unexpectedly.

If you suspect your Volvo XC90’s ABS pump and module is in need of repair, but you’re not experiencing any of the aforementioned symptoms, you can still send it to us. We’ve self-developed bespoke HIL testing rigs which examine these ABS units under realistic operating conditions. This process is able to uncover hard-to-find faults accurately and efficiently, to save you significant time and effort.

Volvo XC90 ABS pump & module: repair or replace?
Once it’s become apparent that their ABS pump and module is defective and in need of repair, many Volvo XC90 owners immediately search for a replacement unit. Whether it comes directly from the dealer or from the second-hand market, a replacement ABS unit can cost thousands and still not rectify the issue for good.

As mentioned, ABS units fitted to the XC90 often fail due to internal component degradation or inherent design flaws. Many affected owners either aren’t aware of this or don’t consider that a similar issue could be present in a like-for-like replacement, leading to further issues later down the line.

Fortunately, replacement isn’t the only option. We’ve developed a remanufacturing solution for both types of XC90 ABS unit to save you time and money.

Our solution
Thanks to our state-of-the-art testing rigs, we’re able to identify the root cause of failure in these units accurately and reliably. Our technicians will then restore functionality and strengthen any underperforming areas of the control unit. We even utilise components that exceed OEM standards where appropriate.

Your rebuilt ABS unit will then be retested to ensure it’s fully functional before being returned to you without the need to reprogramme it. You’ll also be covered by our unlimited-mileage lifetime warranty, which is much more comprehensive than most Volvo XC90 ABS pump and module repair services.
