What is ETM on Volvo?
Volvos affected by the electronic throttle module (“ETM”) are 1999-2002 models (US model years). Before 1999, Volvo used a good old mechanical set of parts to control the throttle. In 1999, they switched to a “fly-by-wire” module… this problematic ETM. This design affects almost a half-million Volvo gasoline cars.
Where is the throttle body located?
The throttle body is located between the air cleaner and the intake manifold of the engine. Most throttle bodies are made of aluminum. The throttle body is connected to the gas pedal of your vehicle with a linkage or flexible cable, which moves the throttle shaft when the gas pedal is depressed.

What is ETM in a car?

Are owners still on their own with Volvo ETM failure?
Owners are still “on their own” with this failure, but less “on their own” than they were before 2006. Now Volvo will pay to have the electronic throttle mechanism replaced under a 2006 recall, but this can follow great cost to the owner because dealers require many parts be in 100% working order before a new ETM replacement work order is declared.
Who makes the ETM module for Volvo?
It’s called The ETM Room, and was inspired by Colorado native Don Willson, a man who spent years working to make Volvo take responsibility for this part. A company named XeMODeX makes replacement modules . XeMODeX is no longer a retail business, so contact them to find a retailer near you who sells their products.
