ABS Control Module
Antilock Brake Systems or ABS is an integral part of the safety of your car. Stopping a car on a slippery surface or in a panic situation can cause us to quickly appreciate ABS. These systems work with the aide of sensors at the wheels, computers and control modules. ABS allows us to slow and stop a car in the event the tires lose traction with the ground no matter the surface or conditions. When the ABS system does not work properly we are not reaping the full advantage of a major safety system. To ensure you are getting the most out of this feature, make sure your TRACS or ABS light is off. Not sure if your vehicle has TRACS? Models equipped with TRACS will have both a TRACS light and TRACS button on the dash board. ipd now offers remanufactured control modules for many Volvo models.

External Torx
If your 850 and later model vehicle has an ABS/Tracs light on and the module is the culprit (diagnostic trouble codes123-124-213-214-313-314-323-324) you’ll need our E5 external torx to remove the control unit. The four fasteners are accessed from the bottom of the unit and require a bit of care to ensure no damage occurs. Don’t try to use a socket that is ‘close’ or you may just have two problems on your hands! Better yet, get our 11 piece external torx set, containing E4 through E20 and tackle those front wheel bearing fasteners too!| Individual E5 external torx | CTA | MP-T9580 | Reg. $4.95 | Sale $4.45 | Each | | 11-piece external torx set | CTA | MP-T9640 | Reg. $29.99 | Sale $26.99 | Each |

Brake Master Cylinder
The brake master cylinder in your car is the metallic part that the brake fluid reservoir sits on top of. When you press the brake pedal, pistons inside the master cylinder pressurize the brake fluid and applies your brakes. When the cylinder begins to wear internally, fluid can leak past the pistons reducing pressure. In most cases no fluid leaks will be visible. In some cases you may see signs that fluid has been leaking out the back of the cylinder. A soft or squishy feel at the brake pedal or the need to repeatedly pump the brakes could mean that the master cylinder is failing. In most cases a brake warning lamp on the dash will also illuminate to provide advance warning. When replacing a failing master cylinder, the brake system will need to be bled and this is an excellent time to perform a brake system fluid flush.| Brake master cylinder 1993-1995 | includes reservoir | Ate | MP-8602302 | Reg. $300.92 | | Each | | Brake master cylinder 1996-1998 | w/o tracs does not include reservoir | Ate | MP-8602303 | Reg. $174.56 | | Each | | Brake master cylinder 1996-1998 | with tracs does not include reservoir | Ate | MP-8602304 | Reg. $182.23 | | Each | | Brake master cylinder 1998-2000 | does not include reservoir | | MP-8602305 | Reg. $145.15 | | Each |

Brake Switch
If you’ve replaced all your brake light bulbs but still don’t have brake lights, chances are you’ve got a bad brake switch. There are two brake switches on the brake pedal of your 850/70. One switch has a vacuum line attached, this is for cruise control while the other switch (the larger of the two) is for powering the brake lights. The internal contacts tend to burn out over time and simply replacing the switch is typically all that is necessary to bring your brake lights back on. Of course don’t forget to check the basics like fuses and bulbs! You’ll need a Torx 25 driver to remove the lower bolster cover to access the brake switch.| Brake switch 850/70 1994-98 | | MP-9128577 | Reg. $38.40 | | Each |

Brake Hardware Kits
Volvos have a history of front brake problems. Part of the weakness of these systems relates to the slider style calipers used on these cars. The rubber boots on these sliders will sometimes tear or degrade from heat and allow lubricated parts to be exposed to the elements. Once the grease washes out it’s only a matter of time before the calipers begin to malfunction. Binding hardware, dragging brake pads and rotor warping are only some of the potential outcomes. These kits do not include parts for caliper pistons.| Front caliper pin kit 850,70 series 1993-2000 one kit does one caliper | Volvo | MP-5A8017 | Reg. $65.55 | | Each |
