Detailed Description

Cardone remanufactured ABS Control Modules are reverse-engineered to identify common failure points and correct original design weaknesses. This process helps restore dependable ABS operation, including the quick reaction needed when traction control is engaged. The remanufacturing process also replaces worn or non-functioning components with new or rebuilt parts where required, supporting long-term electrical stability in Volvo S60, Volvo S80, Volvo V70, Volvo XC70, and Volvo XC90 brake control applications.

This part number, 12-17201, is a direct-fit replacement for select 2002-2004 Volvo models and is built for vehicles that use a bolt-on module with 2 connectors. This part cross-references Cardone 12-17201 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• ABS warning light illuminated on the dash
• Loss of anti-lock brake function
• Traction control system faults or reduced response
• Intermittent brake control communication issues
• Electrical failures caused by worn internal module components

Installation Notes and Tips

• Confirm the vehicle uses the matching bolt-on ABS module layout with 2 connectors before installation.
• Inspect connector terminals and surrounding wiring for corrosion, damage, or fluid intrusion.
• Follow factory service procedures for removal and installation to avoid brake system damage.
• Because programming is not required, installation is focused on proper mechanical and electrical connection.
• After installation, clear diagnostic trouble codes and verify ABS and traction control operation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured ABS Control Modules are tested through computer validation, hydraulic pressure checks, air-decay testing, and on-car verification when needed. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, supporting a more resource-efficient repair path.
