See my note above. I was incorrect on it working on the ECC in the 96-97 850s.
'97 854 T5 - Manual Swap/M4.4/COP/NA cams/P2R Brakes/16T/ chassis bracing/ XC70 nose swap
'97 855 GLT - Hers. RN swap/16T/COP/VVT/exhaust/302s/Flashed M4.4/ chassis bracing/ 2 kid seats
'78 GLE - Waiting in the wings. Future whiteblock/T5 swap.

The Others- '83 TBird turbo, '85 Mercury Marquis LTS (1 of 134), '86 LTD Wagon, '81 Granada GL, '76 Beetle, '93 F-150 I6

I'm confused: for reading the ECC codes, do I use the blink code adapter suggested by Misha, or the Panlong?

And, if the Panlong will read my 96 Volvo 850 ECC (and presumably all other) codes, how does it specify my year, make and model?

The app reads the computer and already knows everything about the car when it initializes and you do a full scan of the car.

Use the blink codes for ECC, and 850 OBDII app for everything else.

blinking on ecc is mostly due to dust near sensor near handle above front seats. look with light over there and you see little fan rotating. carefully remove dust.
