DANGEROUS Volvo Transmission Problem?

[@pmkstudios]

Major points to Volvo for having an abs light to give you a hint but that customer wins the day for getting the symptoms precise enough to make it less challenging to diagnose. Great job and explanation as always. Anything that involves a zip tie is a win in my books!

[@unclemarksdiyauto]

Your customer looks so happy and probably relived that it does not need a transmission or something crazy expensive. Another no parts required! Excellent diag and video, Ivan!

[@mattbrown5511]

In the US Army, that would be called a "field expedient" repair. Improvise, adapt and overcome the current situation. Well done sir. That was a great Christmas present for that couple.

[@ojmbvids]

Nice solution :) I did something similar on a car I had a few years ago as a temp fix. Temp fix became permanent because it never caused any further issue so I ended up forgetting it needed doing!

[@timmychippy3903]

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution 🤔 greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@badgerdave22]

Un-freaking-believable! The owner must've felt like he won the lottery with that fix, Ivan!

[@adamtrombino106]

Your explanation via service data towards the end is key. When you have an intermittent signal, it confuses the entire system. If you were to completely disconnect a wheel speed sensor, or even pulled an ABS fuse, the system would have ignored the issue as pertaining to traction control and transmission shifting. Traction control and ABS simply wouldn't have worked, but the transmission and other systems would have functioned normally. There wouldn't be conflicting data. I dig the Russian repair ;) It was either that or gobs of silly cone.

[@sneaks01]

Great job!! It’s good to see a simple repair can still fix a car.

[@nicholaswatson3896]

There's a lot of integration between systems on Volvo's that aren't always readily apparent. The V70/XC70 is superbly engineered and the mechanically they're surprisingly easy to work on.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Like hell they're eaay to work on. Very cramped.

[@ghassanalfarra8935]

When the dreaded "anti skid service required" msg lit up on the dash of the 4 cylinder turbo diesel S40/V50 and the car went in to limp mode, it usually ment that the EGR valve was faulty .. now go figured 🤔 owners were replacing their Ate ABS pumps for thousands of Euros, yet that didn't always fix the problem, just to later find out, that it was that silly 200€ EGR valve causing the headache

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Ivan, I love this video. Back in the day we used bailing wire but life moves on and so must we. I'd give that zip tie a life way past 1000 miles! I think I'm laughing just about as much as the owner. Great way to start the day. Thanks for Sharing!

[@jdtractorman7445]

I've had a couple GM vehicles that use the 4T40 transaxle where the output speed sensor connector gets corrosion in it and makes the transaxle shift weird and the speedometer fluctuate. Amazing how one little problem creates so many others.

[@2491kridge]

Wow that zip tie method just added a tool to my arsenal, the amount of times I’ve needed a zip tie mount but couldn’t find a good location, you just have me unlimited ideas lol

[@randy1ization]

strong work.. intermittent problems are usually intermittent connections! The "bricks" used to be known for alot of electrical problems due to crappy wiring harnesses. The insulation would fall off of the wiring so the whole wiring harness would need to be replaced. if u could get the wiring right, the engines ran for a LONG time., every time u turned 100k u could go to a dealership and they would give u a mileage badge for the front grill. I saw several 400 and 500 k grill badges back in the day.. especially on the bricks with the "red" engine.. they were legendary.

[@alward9901]

Hi Ivan . The lesson for me is , do periodic visual checks on your car . Because I do mechanical work on all my cars I’m lifting the hood and check automatically . Eric O did one the other day .And there was a bucket of grass on top of the motor?? Always love the Russian fix Ivan 👍🇺🇸🔧🛠⚒

[@thejoyoffix4720]

On this model of Volvo, cracked ABS rings are very common and can also give the identical random symptoms as you were experiencing....specially in the rust belt. Driving off slowly as well would be a temporary fix until the reluctor ring heated up at the break and expanded the gap too far for the ABS's liking and throw a MIL. The rings can be bought separately and tapped on to the CV joint. P.S. The early version of that gearbox also suffered from sticky solenoids.

[@jagvolvo33]

int3eresting ,ive got a jag stype thats giving me a fault code for a relucter ring soon az i hit 20mph abs and traction light on. i carnt see any problem with the ring , BUT theres an issue with the zf gearbox DO you think it could affect the abs ?? i thought NO becouse its all seperate but now ive seen this???

[@belos65]

Hello! It's great to see that there are honest mechanics. Had that Volvo owner submitted his car to a Volvo workshop. Then they had started by replacing the entire gearbox, first. Then they had probably started to understand that there was a fault with the ABS sensor. At least the Volvo technicians who work here in Sweden. Thanks! From Tommy Bertilsson from Sweden

[@jagvolvo33]

not just sweden its the same in uk , you tke your car in youve got a sticking solinoid or cracked bridge seal (£10) yes sir thatll be £2000 for a recon box oh and we want your old one yes the one that only needs a £10 bridge seal , with you tube and AI THESE PEOPLES DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

[@jeffhudson1744]

It’s hard to believe how the systems are tied into each other to mess things up.

[@luukvideo]

Not shifting up while a wheel is slipping probably helps with traction in the snow so it's a nice feature to have on a automatic

[@neilmurphy845]

@@luukvideo yep that is true very handy if you're on grass/mud or if you're going up a icey hill.

[@annaplojharova1400]

It is pretty common in many cars for the ABS to be the primary source of the vehicle speed data. It is so, because as the ABS processes data from all wheels, it is still able to extract rather reliable real car speed data even when a wheel is losing traction.

[@antonoudenhoven7573]

Proof engineers are created in hell 🤣

[@jannepo]

@@luukvideo I think that is the main reason for this function as the car was designed in Sweden. Makes driving in snow and on ice much easier.

[@BoostedMoose517]

Volvo should really add the zip tie method to the repair info. My 05 S60R had quite a few zip tie repairs on it.

[@rafflesnh]

Coincidentally, EricO just put out a video diagnosing a disparity between a Toyota Tundra transmission output speed sensors, but that one needed a part. 😉

[@simonparkinson1053]

Yeah, full system scans are vital. I had an Audi A4 in, two previous places had quoted for a replacement DSG Mechatronics unit. There was a code for internal processing error. They must have both ignored the ABS and traction lights and fault codes. It just needed a wheel speed sensor. My diag and repair was £2500 less than they had been quoted. And yeah, a new Mechatronics unit wouldn't have fixed it.

[@RJ-vb7gh]

My dad taught me all about Russian Repairs. He was born in Estonia in 1918 and actual replacement parts for many cars weren't available. So yes most of my sensors are held in by zip ties and my purge valve is tied to the the line by a shoe lace... (on the road fix when no zip tie was available); I recall when he brought out a big chisel to remove a rusted frame bold and called it the universal "Russian Wrench". Eventually my friends and I started using the term "Russian Wrenching" for removing rusted nuts and bolts with a chisel. I still have on in my tool box today... 45 years later.... well that and a good hand sledge. Never doubt a Russian's ability to apply a low tech solution to solve the most complex of issues. Amazingly Russian armored vehicles still carry around a log for when they get stuck in the mud or snow and apparently it still works.

[@EngineerLewis]

Great repair with a zip tie! Almost a “no parts required” fix!

[@ckm-mkc]

I used to have almost this exact car, the only difference was a black interior - mine was loaded with all options (nav, keyless go, radar cruise control, etc). Awesome car - sold it because of terrible gas mileage..... These are absolute tanks - for parts I used to order from a dealership called Tasca in Rhode Island even though I am in California.... One thing that gets overlooked on this cars is that the rear diff needs to be serviced with special fluid from Volvo - super important as there is a seal that can fail if not replaced.

[@Honeypot-x9s]

Depends, 3.2 and 3.0 T6 engines get just shy of 30 MPG highway.. urban/city mileage however is trash, mid teens. That being said, The 2.5L T5 engines are horrendous for gas mileage full stop, as any true C30 T5 owner/lover. As for parts, I personally use and strongly recommend FCP Euro and IPD Volvo. ;)

[@jannepo]

Just drove 500 km highway trip, with my 2000 V70 2.4T automatic, winter tyres. 34 mpg. City driving takes more, but a lot of depends on how heavy is you foot on gas pedal...

it should be a volvo approved repair method ;) great job Ivan. Greetings from Sweden and a volvo owner.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

I like Volvo, they are very well-made cars 🙂

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

Ivan great job on the Russian Repair. I see in most cars if ABS has issues, Cruise Control and Stability Assist become disabled.

[@Sandmansa]

It's very rare to see one of those clips break off. But it does happen. What I usually get is when someone has done some suspension work or replace an axle and they forget to properly torque the axle bolt and the bolt later walks out. Letting the CV slip in and out of the hub as you drive. Causes an identical problem. But yeah, pro tech tip. Volvo's with random transmission issues, check the ABS system first. Nice work with the zip tie. That would make David Freiburger proud. lol

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Ha! I've seen cheap Chinese aftermarket axles do that on a Volvo. No matter how hard you torqued the axle bolt, the slop in the splines would gradually walk it out and the problem would repeat again xD

[@Sandmansa]

@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I've seen something like that on a BMW recently with a cheap aftermarket axle. But it was the supplied axle bolt that was just a little too long and the spring on the end would not apply enough pressure to fully engage the axle to hub teeth. What a horrible grinding sound it made when you leaned on the loud pedal. LOL

[@blueskiesmobileauto4253]

Awesome fix and info Ivan! 05 Subaru outback does similar strange shifting when I believe a certain wss acts up. I want to say it was the LF but it was throwing a generic vehicle speed sensor code which would illuminate the abs and cel. I was baffled after I fixed some wiring to the wss and the strange shifts stopped happening. The transmission still functioned ok but there were hard shifts unlike this Volvo. Very cool stuff!

[@willjr2520]

Great job again. My mechanic although charges cheap for labor would not have thought of this solution.

[@Skynet-1]

Great idea on hitting up the pick to make a hole for the zip tie! I salute you sir... 👍👍👍

[@KevinK-gk4wt]

I’m going back to the days when Stromberg carbs and Red Blocks went together, B20 I think? The diaphragm failed miles from anywhere and it was raining. Differential diagnosis was applied, followed by much cursing. My travelling companion had a long look at the diaphragm, had a little giggle and dug out a box of cling film. The 3 layer, patch overlain on the diaphragm, was still going strong 3 years later when I sold the car.

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

The doom of interactive modules - a minor ABS problem causes a major transmission problem, due to an algorithm that compares wheel sensors before shifting. The most gratifying is that there are no parts available and a zip tie solves the problem :-) Cool NPR, Ivan!

[@lifelong5425]

Nice brother..I truly appreciate seeing techs find areas to search, but also find ways to solve an issue without going full on replacement parts

[@Ram14250]

Great! Love those no parts required fixes! The dealer would of replaced the entire control arm assembly (sensor rusted in place or PIA to the arm) and probably a new wheel bearing charged over $2,500 in repair cost! for a repair a 2 cent zip-tie can fix!

[@Paramount531]

THANK YOU! While I am not having this problem with my 2013 XC70, it is great to know just in case it happens to mine in the future. I wonder what a stealership would do if you presented the car with these symptoms? I'd guess they would try to sell you a very expensive transmission overhaul or replacement.

[@tierodend]

Well this was a great learning experience 😊 -the abs failing can reasonably affect shifting -how to make a hole in a connector to use a ziptie to lock it to the sensor Both blew my mind 😅 Thanks!

[@zx8401ztv]

Well done ivan a cheap/fast/smart mod as always from you :-D The inside of the car looks really nice. Shame the wheel support is not so good with rust. As you said it's a pain to get parts.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Nice fix. You have to think a lot before diagnosing, but in this case, success comes with a "slight" modification!

[@DonDegidio]

Hi Ivan, Another no parts repair. Like your method of deduction to find a potential cure, which in this case only required a zip tie. You and your family stay safe.

[@mobile_vic]

This happened to my mother’s 2008 Volvo S80 T6! Same failure except it was the left rear sensor plug. I replaced the harness connector after first zip-tieing it together, and it’s been fine since. Also, if you work on one of these in the future and want to try pulling the ABS fuse, don’t bother - the car won’t start if you do.

[@adamtrombino106]

Very interesting on the fuse pulling issue. I wonder if it 'matters' which fuse you pull. I imagine if 1 got pulled that shuts down a network, then yes, there could be a no start. For my part, be it a GM or whatever, I simply disconnect a wheel speed sensor to disable that system when they're affecting other systems.

[@mobile_vic]

@@adamtrombino106 After that repair I learned that on P3 Volvos four modules make up the immobilizer: ECM, TCM, CEM (Central Electronics Module), and BCM (Brake Control Module). All four must be present and communicating on the HS CAN for the start to be authorized.

[@appatula]

"Smekalka" came to mind as you "manufactured" your own fix for that snapped plastic tab on the female speed sensor plug housing! It brought my back to so many memories of my childhood. We used to use the term "ghetto-rig-it" where I grew up. I grew up in a rough neighborhood, it was a well known as the "projects" in my city. The running city joke was "They don't have hot water there" and for good reason. They bulldozed it not to long after my mother and I got out. A few years later I ended up in a state technical high school. I was always blessed from a young age with the curiosity of all things mechanical and became quite mechanically inclined. In that place I knew that kids with "idle hands are the devil's playground". I would have instantly been bullied and beaten up the moment I moved there but coming from a much softer background beforehand. In using my knowledge I helped all the neighborhood kids bikes stay fixed and also introduced myself by letting them ride my homemade mini-bikes and go-kart from a old stripped yerf dog frame. I fitted it with a snow blower 5hp briggs & stratton. Anyways I would either end up breaking the pull string for starting it or lose the whole pull starter altogether a lot. No side plate coverings on my motors! So I would improvise starting it by tapping a nickel or quarter in the clutch (depending on how already worn out clutch disk was). Then I'd have the neighborhood kids push to "pop start" the motor. We'd lose that plastic starter fairly often when taking sharp turns running from the cops in the city. Whenever they would break down word got out in the neighborhood our shady neighbors would always help out. When the throttle cable broke I used a brake/shifter cable that was "donated" from an old mountain bike. You used what you could get. I look back and it amazes me what we could do with all the scrounged up parts we could get. We would always get it done. From my milk crate basketball hoop to the useful bolt cutters used to cut a hole the fence to retrieve the ball when it would go over the fence. From "donated" junkyard wheel bearings to bike inner tube patch repairs. You learn to be very adaptable growing up in an environment like that. I'm forever grateful to be one of the few kids from my childhood to make it out of that place. I was blessed and fortunate enough to be inquisitive and excel in school & sports later on in life. I ended up on a positive path. Most of my brethren didn't later on in life. I was lucky, but that the place I grew up in did shape the person I am today. Fortunately the positive aspects are what I (primarily) focused on and took hold of. Yeah I've made my fair share of mistakes. Still despite my environment growing up, I had a decent head on my shoulders and good parents; guidance. All of it got me to where I am now. Very few of those kids had that growing up there. I am forever grateful for that. My life now is worlds away from that daily drug & crime infested place where I grew up.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

I had a similar issue with an E34 530i bmw. Fitted spare wheel to the front which was more worn than the opposing front wheel. If I caused the engine to change down it would stick in the lower gear, thinking it was going around a corner all the time due to the difference in reported wheel speed. Too clever by half !

Heating up the pick to poke a hole in the connector is a great idea! Easy too.

[@jannepo]

I think it's the same with 2000 Volvo V70 I have. Around 2000-2004 models ABS unit made by ATE fails due cracking lead free solder joints at the connector. I start losing the signal from driver side from ABS sensor. AND sends the speed to Cruise, DIM (Driver information module = speedo) and TCM/ECM. If you get stuck in the snow and only one wheel has traction, this function prevents the transmission upshift. Thus on so inexperienced drivers, who floor the accelerator to get unstuck do not get one wheel spinning 100 km/h when the tire meets the tarmac and car jumps forward and/or gearbox might get damaged. Normally traction control would prevent this by braking the faster spinning wheel, BUT if there is no speed info from both front wheels is is disabled..

[@daviesmia]

It's true that many systems in these cars are interrelated. Fi. If something is wrong with the throttle body or ABS the cruisecontrol, TCS, ESP will not work either. Transmissions in these are Aisin-Warner gboxes that use electonic control. According to Volvo these gboxes are filled for life ( which IMO means until broken) and the valve body in these AW transmissions wears out, causing shift flaring followed by violent gear engagement. These gearboxes benefit from cleaning flush and new (special spec!) ATF. After that is done the relearn procedure has to be done. VIDA software needed).

[@tam1381]

Ivan that model is equipped with DSC (dynamic stability control) There is a switch on the central consul for disabling the DSC. Pushing that switch will let the car drive as normal. They are bad for sensors and tone rings splitting. Nice video.

they are usually already disabled due to dirty or broken wheel speed sensors, seized pre pumps, broken solder joints in DSC module, stuck valves in the ABS unit, and on and on. just changed my pre pump in a 2000 bmw z3 and it was a 2 day saga . hope its worth all the work and money to get the DSC working . took alot of research to even partially understand how the system works.

Hey Ivan, hope you doing great, it is insane how cars nowadays have everything interconnected.

This winter the ABS light came up at a random time for a front left wheel sensor and that moment it stopped working briefly I noticed the shift being a lot better. Guess what I decided to do, I go and break the cable to the wheel speed sensor and ABS light comes up but now I have a proper shifting tranny🤣. I have only the rear sensors sending signal to the transmission for now while I save the money to put all 4 OEM sensors in it. But yes, it is quite an interconnected mess

Bit of an oversight in the Volvo programming. If the BCM throws a code about implausible wheel speed, the 'upshift delay' function of the transmission (probably done to prevent slipping) should be inhibited.
