Reading Off Volvo On-board Diagnostic (OBD) System






Fault data and other information can be read off using the VIDA PC which is connected to the data link connector (DLC) under the center console cover via VCT 2000. The VIDA PC communicates with the control module via a standardized interface.

With the VIDA PC it is possible to:
- read off and erase diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored
- activate components/functions according to predetermined patterns
- Continuously monitor the value and status of input and output signals
- carry out a self test on the system components.
- read off control module identification.

To activate the Volvo on-board diagnostic (OBD) system:
- ignition on
- battery voltage normal.

NOTE: With the Volvo on board diagnostic system (OBD) activated the screen will always fold up, without showing any information. The RTI system regains normal function when the diagnosis is finished.
