Loan (or sell) a fault code reader for an OBDII - Page 2

Delta66 · Mar 29th, 2018, 15:53

Short run, ABS warning light came on and the readings were;

Position I - 1.1.1

Position F - 1.1.1

Position A - 1.5.2

Position C - no light

Codes reset and I will try one more time, but it must be the right front wheel sensor.

I will have a go at removing it to clean, but if it is anything like the passenger side sensor, it is not going to budge. I can get one for £18 off ebay.

No joy trying to get the ABS sensor off, so new one ordered and will have another, more brutal go, so if it breaks, I can fit the new one.

I am not confident in the information above. My understanding is that the 940s with what looks like an OBDII socket in teh cubby between the seats need a flash reader, and that NO computer program will read them. I am less clear about the date changeover - but both my Sport Editions have which are on N plates and mostly work with the home-built Volvo flash reader!.

The home made reader I have been loaned works and gives codes that are consistent with known faults.

I do accept it is not really an OBD II and it would be better described as an OBD I, maybe?

Yes. I call it a “not quite OBD II”. I’d like to know, could you read both the ECU and the EZK?

Delta66 · Apr 2nd, 2018, 19:02

There are two lift out bits in the centre console, but only one has a socket to plug the reader into.

Indeed but the usual design of the flash box involves a rotary switch to enable you to read certainly teh ECU and teh EZK and a couple of other things too.

The results I got are above and on page 1.

Posted back first class. Many thanks.

Less than a tenner to read the codes Volvo wanted nearly £130 to do.
