Similar to other forums on swedespeed, this is a general post thread for your latest adventures, general discussion, and random photos of your XC90. Saves us from having to create new threads for random thoughts and discussion.
If you don't mind me asking, what was the average weight of what you were towing? That's awesome news!Well I've got good news to report.
Installing the transmission cooler seems to be good for about 20-30F. Driving in similar outdoor temps and at similar speeds I never saw the transmission temp rise above 172F, whereas before it was above 200F. Should make the fluid last a lot longer!
In other news, I picked up an entire case of Idemitsu ATF TLS-LV (their spec of WS fluid) for $2 per quart!! Should be set for the next fluid change.
"Alarm System Service Required". All the door actuators work, so it might be a module. I'd prefer to disable it than replace modules, if that's an option. I think it is well past time for me to figure out a VIDA+DICE setup -quite the rabbit hole for running on a Mac.What is the security system message? VIDA tells you what device triggered the alarm, if you have random alarms going off.
Rear brakes is quite straight forward, but use Volvo shoes at best and if the inner rubbing surface of the parking drum brake is rusty, then the park brakes won't hold well. New discs may be needed.

No false alarms and no issues with the sunroof. I'm sure the module is original, records never noted it was swapped. Do you have a PN? IPD sells an "alarm system siren" Volvo PN 9452709, however fitment is for P2 cars with the exception of the XC90."Alarm System Service Required"
If the siren module is original, that's the first place I might look. No false alarms or problems currently with the sunroof?
The XC90 giveth, and the XC90 taketh away!!!Went to change a taillight and somehow dropped the nut (upper). Guess it will be the source of another annoying interior rattle now....But I found this bolt (lower) while I was digging around looking for it 😂
Just chiming in here. I had the "alarm service required" warning come up on my 02 S60 a few weeks back. Alarm started going off in the middle of the night. Pulled the fuse at 3am in my PJ's. Anyhow, now the sunroof doesn't work! I have not had time to pull the SCM to look into fixing/replacing it. Doesn't even look like I can buy the part from FCP any longer. I may try and pull one off a car in a yard if I get to it.Thanks, this gives me some good leads. Interestingly, we took the XC90 on a long trip this weekend and that warning message didn't show up during the drive. I'm sure it will return, it's been consistently on for a while. I'll start with a check of the fuse (I suspect it is fine) and then work on removing the SCM for inspection.
