Hello all, I have a old volvo d12 with 1.1 million miles. The truck runs great, idles great, overall a great truck. Recently the truck started shutting down at random. The speedometer will go to 0 then bounce back, loss of power, and the trailer abs will flash with it. The vecu fault is MID 144 PSID 230 FMI 4. And I have various tcs faults as well. Its worth noting that my oil pressure sensor is faulty as well, but its been like that since I bought the truck.
I took it to a mechanic, they said the alternator was bad, and had shorted. I was skeptical but had them replace alternator and repair the harness today. 1500 dollars later, im on a load and the problem is still here. I don't mind fixing the truck properly, I just dont want to throw parts at it hoping to find the issue without proper diagnosis.
Any advice?
