I am not 100% sure but most good garages should be able to read most of the codes using licensed specific software for their hi-tec code reader.

This may not read and describe all the codes that volvos own software will.

You can get the software and diagnostic equipment on ebay but the diesel car ECU will only talk to the good copies of volvos equipment.

If you search the forum for VIDA and DICE you will find a lot about it.

Someone posted about a good setup to buy very recently so if you look through the last few pages of threads you may see it.
