You are quite right VIDA will give you the precise code for your model Volvo. However, I've found it quite useful on the odd on occasion to use an ordinary OBD11 scanner to give me a quick idea of what is going on as well as where to look for a solution to a problem - VIDA is a specialised tool which whilst giving a precise fault diagnosis I find still needs to be "interpreted" from time to time.............thankfully there is a great deal of help and support with fault diagnosis to be found via this website.
