1999 V70 XC 2.4T AWD - 3rd party scan tools - be careful!

Post by wizechatmgr »

Be careful hooking up 3rd party scanners if you use the "auto detect" or auto vin detect setting...

The two legitimate codes are the first one and the very last one. Every one of the other ones appears to have been caused by the auto scan on the Autel Maxicom. Scanner does well if you input the VIN manually and use the VOLVO selection.

(Note that 1st code is caused by last code in this instance)
I know I have a bad sensor connection, I was double checking which wheel.
