Chances are that many of you have received the common "Anti-Skid Service Required" message from your P2 Volvo. If you haven't, there's a good chance that you may come across it during the span of owning your car. This common error message tends to be found the most on the P2 platform vehicles ranging from model years 2003-2010.

The most common cause for this message is due to a faulty steering angle sensor. The steering angle sensor is incorporated into the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) contact reel which is actually part of your steering wheel module. Inside of the steering wheel sensor is a code wheel which follows the movement of the steering wheel and calculates the steering wheel angle, turning speed, and number of turns.

The first step to remedy this issue would be to upgrade the steering angle sensor software. If the software has been installed and the sensor re-calibrated but the error message still remains then a new steering angle sensor must be installed.
