With Generic Scan Tool

On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II)


OBD II is a legally required diagnostic system. The OBD II DLC enables a generic scantool to be connected to the management system to read DTCs and parameters. Since OBD II covers only DTCs and parameters which alter exhaust emission levels, the information is not as comprehensive as that provided by Volvo Diagnostics or the Volvo ST.

A scan tool must be used to read or clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)







Connect generic OBD II scan tools to the DLC located above the shifter

To read or clear DTCs refer to the scan tool manufacturer's instruction manual
