jreed, Thank you for your reply and the photo.
My ECC board looks exactly the same as yours. Which pins in OBD are you connecting to read and clear the codes? I connect to #16, #6, and #5 for the button. In this configuration I can read all the codes, but have a problem clearing them. I make sure all codes are read before trying to clear them. My Volvo model is very close to yours. It is 1996 854 GLT. Your 1997 855 GLT may have very similar, (if not the same) ECC system and other related electronics.

Sure! I'm also using OBDII pins 5, 6, and 16. I'm using the little gizmo I built and wrote up here: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... 43#p251189
I was thinking it might be helpful to post up a little YouTube video of how to clear the ECC codes.

You do have the updated ECC unit.
This is the configuration of my code reader. I guarantee nothing, use at your own risk...
(not Sure if the deodorant canister makes any difference?)

After resolving my power issue, the reader was able to clear my stored codes enabling to move on.
Edit: An after thought. Did you place the temperature sensor back in the duct between the fan motor and the power stage resistor?
