Favor to ask: '92-95 850 owners

Post by **matthew1** » 01 Oct 2011, 12:06

Can someone with a '93-95 850 take photos of how you check codes under the hood?

Send them to matt {at} matthewsvolvosite {dot} com and I'll write up a page.

It'd be great to have our own page here on that How-To instead of sending people off to volvospeed for it.

Consider it done...

Thanks in advance, ECF. If you want to include a few notes, that would be great. I -- embarrassingly -- have never used a diagnostic box, just code readers.

Sure..
Maybe squeeze a short video as well.
The blinking will be better captured that way.
I may proudly say I learned how to with the help of forum members..

Matt,
I found this a while back online. Not sure where I got it from.

Sweet. I'll start the page now.

I put that documrnt together from information consolidated from this site and others. If your printer has the capabllity to print in 2 sided booklet format it makes a nice addition to your glove box for easy referance.

Thanks for that, Anjill. Here's the pre-OBD Volvo 850 code reading page.

Nice job so far. I like the layout BTW.

when I tried to clear srs code to make light shut off, I had to read it 3 times before hand. I found the obd manual somewhere that stated this. also, when I cleared the check engine light, the car would not start. no crank or anything. had to disconnect the battery and reconnect it before it would start again. just for reference.
