ETM mod of the throttle position sensor, non contact, magnetic, Volvo S70, V70, S80, etc. - REMIX

ETM Mod/repair: 2 to 3 hours ($100 / $550 / $1,200)
What you should know about the Volvo ETM: • Volvo ETM information,...
On eBay: www.ebay.com/i...
If your Volvo has an ETS light on in the dash, chances are, the ETM is going or has gone bad. About 80% of the time it is a bad internal part called the throttle position sensor. It is a potentiometer that wears out over time and causes the system to loose track of where the throttle opening actually is. You can have the throttle module replaced (which usually requires re-programming), send it out to be rebuilt (which cost several hundreds of dollars), or you can rebuild it with this magnetic system and possibly have it last forever.
I am pretty sure this works for all of the Volvo's with the ETM built between 1999 and 2002. Not sure about models after that. Thanks for watching, hope it helps.

Dude, you rock so much. I had read about this problem some years ago, and was thinking I would have to buy a completely new unit for multiple hundreds of dollars. Now you have encouraged me to get the kit and try it myself - I'm very good mechanically. You are saving us so much money out here. God bless you man.

[@RobertDIY]

Nice and thank you.

Im currently doing this project on my Girl Friends V70 T5. To soften the green rubber material, I poured some nail polish remover on it first. Worked very well.

[@RobertDIY]

Good deal, thanks for sharing.

[@JeffersonMartinSynfluent]

We opted for a Xemodex pre-programmed rebuild. Expensive at $550 USD but it did actually work without a trip to the dealer to re-program. Watching this video and the tight place the ETM lives in makes me glad I'm not a mechanic!

[@RobertDIY]

LOL, You should see the Jaguar XJ8 fuel tank removal. :(

[@fishhead1227]

Great video yet once again. I have a 99 V70XC and I purchased last year. The ETM was replaced by the dealership in 2014 and less than a year had passed but the change of ownership meant I needed to spend 1600 for the module and programming. I found a company in Canada that uses the same magnetic Pot for $550 with a lifetime warranty. For diagnosis I used an OBDII program and watched the throttle position go from 0 to 15% rapidly which is not normal. They will program the ETM with the pre supplied VIN. Thanks again for the video, this is certainly a sore spot for these vehicles.

[@RobertDIY]

[@poldpoldecki7171]

Those pins are not soldered. They are actually spot welded! :-D . That's why breaking the "sensor" off is a viable option. A soldering iron WILL NOT get them to separate. You might just melt something along the way if you apply too much heat. Either cut them or brak them off just like Robert has done.

[@RobertDIY]

Thanks for the info!

[@pdshunter2001]

For all the skeptical people wonder if you need to reprogram the throttle body you will not need to with this modification! One thing to be aware of though when you do this modification the first few start ups of the car may be very very rough! Also the intercooler pipe that goes to the throttle body may be a bugger to put back on. You can cut the rough edges off of the throttle body side to make it alittle easier. Be prepared for some bloody nuckles for this job

[@RobertDIY]

[@K7classicrockfan]

I had an ets light issue so I did this mod. But now my car is running really rough... more than before the mod. As a side note I also had a bad bank 2 Oxygen sensor before the mod (the car was running smooth even with the bad sensor). I have not yet replaced the bad oxygen sensor after the modification. Now I am wondering if #1 the etm needs a reprogram or #2 is the bad oxygen sensor making the car run rough (even though it was running fine before)?

[@j-psalmi8039]

Did this mod 3 days ago, car has been working perfectly for 200 km. Just make sure your ETM is in working condition and remember adjust the magnet to get the right voltage, otherwise it's a trip to the dealer to get a new program. Also, put sealant in the new sensors square part and rubber gasket, that's a very good spot for moisture to get inside the casing.

[@danielerickson4893]

Hey Robert! I had the usual symptoms of a worn out throttle position sensor so I bought that kit to install. When I took the old one off I noticed it was already a contactless, magnetic one, and not the stock sensor. I replaced it anyway with the new one I got, to see if it would fix it. But after I replaced it with the new one, I have to keep my foot on the accelerator and keep the revs up when starting it, but it stays running after that. However, I think it is in limp mode, it won't seem to rev past about 2k RPM or so. Not sure if you will have any insight on this issue, could it potentially be an ECU problem? (I replaced the TPS after I rebuilt the head, the battery was disconnected from the car for about 1 1/2 months, I know I also have a vacuum leak to fix, I know where it is and I'm waiting on a part to come in, and I have a leak at one of the turbo coolant pipes) Thanks (I have a 2000 V70R, I got it cheap, but it's sure needed some work, your videos make that much easier, though)

[@RobertDIY]

Fix the vacuum leak and see if that helps. There is a good chance that the connector is bad. Several people have had to replace the connector from the ETM plug to the ECU.

[@zx8401ztv]

Thats a great mod for the throttle position feedback sensor robert :-D. Even if the original pot was the ceramic base type, they will still wear in time. That magnet and hall effect device will last a lifetime. I would imagine that more modern cars allready use the magnet/hall system.

[@naterussell1284]

Hello Robert DIY, I have a 1993 Volvo 240. The vehicle has no issues with cold starts and runs well until the vehicle heats up. When vehicle is hot and idling at a stop sign or light it stalls out and the idle is really rough. I have to put the vehicle in neutral and keep my foot on the gas so I don’t stall out completely. There is no service light or Check engine light. I have replaced the: Spark plugs, wires, rotor and cap Injectors Exhaust Mass Air Flow Sensor IAC valve Ignition Switch and coil Fuel filter and both fuel pumps Fixed vacuum lines. Not all of them but had it checked for vacuum leaks. I did have the throttle body and system cleaned. It seemed like that helped the most. I was able to drive the car for longer before the idle got rough but it slowly went back to how it was before. Thinking it might be the temp sensor or throttle position sensor. Any thoughts that may help me out?

[@RobertDIY]

Maybe fuel pressure regulator.

[@naterussell1284]

Thank you for the quick reply. It feels like a random misfire. Does that change anything

HEy Robert. We just did this job on mys son's 1999 2.5.

We swapped out the throttle for contactless, and now it runs lumpy all the time! I have done this job before on my own T5 without problems. Is there anything else on the ETS system that would bring on the light? Is there another potentiometer at the pedal that could be busted?

I have a s80 Volvo 2000 check engine on got it checked said it was the TPS so do I have to replace the sensor? Or the whole throttle body if that Wat its called?? Not too familiar with fixing cars but they Wana charge 540$ for the part itself...

[@RobertDIY]

+Salvador Ferreira is it part of the gas pedal?

[@AHFBEETZ]

Robert DIY no idea just know I'm experiencing the problems your showing it shakes while it's idle if I hit the gas all the way it won't go pass 15 mph I'll turn it off and on off and on and eventually it'll run. Just know the check engine code is ringing up the throttle position sensor is bad don't know if that helps

[@RobertDIY]

+Salvador Ferreira what is the code number?

[@RobertDIY]

+Salvador Ferreira could also be a fuse.

[@AHFBEETZ]

Robert DIY hopefully this is the code. P0121 says throttle/pedal position sensor A circuit range/performance

Man I wish u could help with my daughter's 2000 s70. It's doing alot. I'm having a hard time pin pointing the problem/problems. She loves the car. It's driving me nuts. 😆 but this video definitely might help with 1 of the problems

[@RobertDIY]

I hear you.

[@stanislawszmit7505]

Love U Rob!

Thanks.

Hello and thank you for your many vids. I had an issue with my car. The idle was going down when i stop for lights example. I didnt have the etm ligh on that time but i cleaned the body anyway. It helped for a while but now my problem is that when im driving say like 60miles and i take foot off from gass pedal the idle is going between 1000-1500rpm and then settles somewhere near 1200rpm. And sometimes the etm ligh comes but not for few weeks now and i drive the car every day. Is it possible that the whole etm unit is bad or just the throttle position sensor. Car is 1999 Volvo V70. And i also tried old etm from 2000 S70 but it didnt work at all, idle was going up and down. Should i get it new programming. Sorry my english not the best. Greetings from Finland

[@RobertDIY]

I would have done what this video showed.

Where can I find a tamper proof 6side torque bit

[@RobertDIY]

All hardware stores like Home Depot and auto parts stores.

[@campbellmcleod]

Hi Rob.. Where do you purchase the kit from. I can't seem to find them.

[@RobertDIY]

www.ARDIdeas.com or eBay.

[@campbellmcleod]

Robert DIY thanks so much!

ARD has closed down...

[@fredrikoscar4741]

Hmmm. ... I did exactly this, and ended up with DTC. ECM-9150 and ECM-9160. The butterfly plate will not move at all after my little operation.... Any thoughts about what may have happened? Great video anyway! Thank you!

[@RobertDIY]

Not really. Is it getting power?

[@fredrikoscar4741]

@@RobertDIY As far as I know it does. I will check again though.. I will let you know if (when?) I find out what´s wrong with it.

[@fredrikoscar4741]

I solved the problem. I swapped the original circuit board to another housing so it ended up with the original sensors. Back to square one, without a contactless sensor. Now the car runs.

[@hasankocaman102]

Do I need some reprogram if I replace old tps with that?

[@RobertDIY]

Did you watch and listen to the video?

[@stevedodd7883]

hi Robert, 1996 850R, i just had trouble with it last week running bad then did not start, watched your vid , we worked out thatit maybe fuel pump relay ,put new one on , but still no petrol so replaced fuel pump, now it starts but has trouble idling but ok when it warms up, so is there a cold start sensor on these and where is it located

[@RobertDIY]

ECT

[@stevedodd7883]

thankyou Robert , im wondering if its something electronic though. when i start it from cold i have to regulate the revs with my foot on the throttle to keep it going until it runs on its own which takes about a minute, but while that is happening there is a noise that sounds like a relay buzzing quite loudly , the sound starts off low pitched and gets higher and higher pitched and at the same time gets quieter until it disappears. when you cant hear it anymore thats when it starts running correctly. have you ever known anything like that ?. By the way , your videos are really appreciated here in the U.K.

[@RobertDIY]

Noise may be a bad timing belt part about to fail and destroy the engine.

[@EXTEZZEE]

Robert DIY oh wow I have similar issues but without the sound. Your videos are definitely a great service to everyone worldwide Robert. Can’t tell you how much I love and appreciate your help and support through your videos and comments, links. Peace Love and God Bless Brother.
