hi all
The check engine light turned on recently on my 95 850GLT. I wanna know how could I get the exact error code?
The car still drives good.
Please tell me a way to get a diagnostic of it. Thanks

I know it's pretty vague
I just wanna know where I can get this checked. Since the nearest Volvo dealer is more than 60 miles a way from me :oops:
Many thanks if someone can give me some information.
Actually, I know little about the car since I just bought it for a couple of days as my first car ever.....-_-b

Provided you have ODB II (there was a change in 95) you can pick up a cheap code reader for about $40-50 at Harbor Freight.
