Thanks for the info guys. Sound like it might work.

Well, my only Volvo is gone. The 960 required my attention to keep on the road. With my daughter heading off to college, we switched to a 01 Avalon to eliminate tinkering or at least have something that requires a bit less specialized knowledge if I have to pay someone to wrench on it when she's ...

My 960 came with a later model AM/FM CD unit, out of an 850 I believe. It was removed to run an aftermarket stereo. I'd like to put it back in to sell the car. After searching threads,I gather I need both the unit's serial number and original car's vin to get a security code. Is that correct? If so ...

Getting my 1995 960 ready for sale. Before I remove the aftermarket stereo, I need to know the prospects for my success in getting the Volvo stereo to operate. Mind you I have the original AM/FM cassette unit, but the car came to me with a AM/FM CD unit, I believe out of a later model 850 ...

Anybody know what happened to JRL? I was trying to PM with an audio question, but I get"requested user does not exist"

The reset you describe could easily lead to an emissions pass. The seller is basically telling you what he did. It may be too late, but he's fessing up to a cover up. Perhaps an inadvertent one since he's talking about it. As long was your EGR behaves from the reset until the smog check, it should ...

Your check engine light does illuminate when key is on before engine is started?

I just noticed the the CEL is not illuminating on start-up. Nor is SRS. All other dash annunciators test okay on start-up, although I am having an intermittent background lighting problem (separate topic that I just ...

The 960 has had problematic dash lights since it arrived at our home last fall. It could be said that they are intermittent, but they have gone from working most often to working rarely. Early on, I sensed a correlation between key cycling and the problem. My daughter caught on to that, and simply ...

Zip, I'll move this to RWD because it's as much a 960 question as an OBD-II question.

Thanks matthew1. I assumed the OBD thing would be a cross-model topic, so I went with "Tools." After posting there, I opened my eyes to see that there is a OBD topic within the RWD forum. So I guess my query is ...

Hopefully I'm in the right place to ask a basic newbie question. Looks like it has never been covered in this topic, so I guess the topic is green like me! I must have jumped a generation of cars, or at least my early 90's cars didn't provide cause to "educate" me. I'm used to reading DTCs on OBD II ...
