My diagnostics so far:
-a local volvo specialist hooked it up to his diagnostic system last year. According to his readout, I don't even have a DEM
-the prop shaft spins with all 4 wheels off the ground, and I couldn't stop it with a gloved hand on the damper
-there is power at the DEM.
-the pump runs at what seems to be a normal speed when hooked up to an external battery, but is really noisy.
-there don't appear to be any fluid leaks, so I think the oil level is ok.
The weather here is changing fast, so it may have to wait till spring. Unfortunately, as a FWD vehicle, even with snow tires it has less traction than my old Saturn wagon did.
Must say - this is a pretty good forum!
