Have you checked the connections to the sensors? Does it happen mostly on rough patches of road?
-
Volvo dealer said all the connections are good and it does it even on smooth roads
-
Dealer blamed it on the elog they took if completely out and drove it home next day same problem with out elog
-
I'll decipher codes for your dealer.
MID 136 - ABS module
SID 254 - Stability control
fm 12 - no data from wheel speed sensor or big data fluctuation.
How it's working - ABS read all 6 wheel speed sensors and compare them. If signal frequency from left side wheel higher then from right side ABS module think your truck turning right or if difference between signals frequency too big truck is jack knifing. In last instance ABS will send command to Vehicle ECU to command Cummins ECU to drop power. There are another 2 sensors involved in this process. Steering wheel sensor and Yaw sensor.
You need someone with Bendix Acom Diagnostic computer to read ABS and run test. Did you have any steering repairs recently? Probably need sensors re calibration. -
No haven’t done any steering repairs I was just cruising on the highway and all the sudden TCS ABS Came on lost throttle and power as you see in the picture
-
Is code stay after key cycling or it's on/off?
-
code shows only when the TCS comes on its does not stay when parked only when I drive it pops up
-
I am literally spending thousands of dollars and no one can figure it out
