Anyone else having a hard time accessing 1999+ Codes?

Post by alschnertz »

I can click the link to 1999+ codes, but no information comes up.
I'm used to the codes for an OBD I vehicle (my '95 854T) and how to access them on MVS, but I'm trying to decipher some codes for the '01 S40 but getting nothing.

Anyone else?
Thanks

If you buy a DICE unit it will greatly simplify reading codes on the '99 and on cars. Most of the DICE units come with a cracked copy of VIDA. If you are pulling Pxxxx codes with a scanner they are fairly universal and they will point you in the right direction but the codes that you pull from DICE are much more precise.

There is a ton of information on the system VIDA / VADIS / DICE forum.

Yep, it's broken. Working on this now. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, alschnertz.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

It's a new page at a new URL. I'll redirect all requests to the old URL to that.
