Making a Diagnostic Test Box for the 940
The late version 940's did not have an under bonnet diagnostic box, instead there is a OBD II style connector in the cubby with a clip-in cover you can prise out with a screw driver.
Thanks to Jod T5 who provided the basic circuit and instructions http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=46943 and to davidwad for telling where the socket was and for general help thanks to Chris_Rogers. Although you can manage with paper clips and a multimeter it is a lot easy to work with a correctly made box, so I thought I would share the parts and construction info for my little gizmo. Below I'll post the modified circuit diagram, I have added a switch to select Ignition or Fuel system read out and added colour labels for the wiring. Next post I'll list the parts and suppliers used, some construction info and a few photos. Total cost was £27.25 + 2 hours build time. Tools Required 1. Soldering iron and solder with flux core 2. Wire cutters. 3. Wire stripper or sharp knife 4. Pair of needle nose pliers 5. hand drill and assorted wood/metal drill bits 6. Small Philips/Cross head screwdriver for the box lid and connector case.

[2] The Cable Exit Gland and OBD II Connector are specified for a 5mm dia cable but the 6mm dia cable used fitted OK. [3] I connected the cable screen to the ground/0V pin at the connector as well as the black wire, leave the box end of the screen disconnected. A screen is probably not needed but I felt it was good practice. [4] To find the components on the Maplin site enter their part code in the search area at the top. Each components page will have drilling and other info. [5] On a 940 I could get codes out with the key in position II. [6] I did not always have the exact drill size so just used what I had to hand.
