Default 95 volvo-error codes box

Hello people!
I have had my 95 volvo for 3 years now and service light and srs light were on for more than 2 years (didnt bother fixing) but now I also have the abs and traction (I assume they go together) and it just seems like way to many lights on the dash (sometimes I think car is not on because of all the flashing lights). Anyway, since this is a split year, I have both the obd2 under the ashtray and box under the hood. I was wondering does anyone know the exact steps how to clear these lights and get the error codes using the box under the hood?
Any help would be appreciated!

Not sure I understand the instructions on your link but here is the latest:
I did another search and managed to clear service light using terminal 7, that is done. I also managed to clear srs light using terimnal 5 of the outbox B. Code was 233, it cleared fine.
I still have abs and traction light on. I am not sure that I can read the codes for abs using your link. Is that only for the check engine light?? Maybe I got something wrong but I dont have CEL on and it read 1-1-1 (no codes) so that is fine. Which terminal and outbox I got to use to get the codes for the abs+traction and how to clear it?
Thanks for your response!

Ok, so I found instructions on other website: http://brickboard.com/FAQ/700-900/BrakesABS.htm and I did everything as it says there. I got 4 different codes for the abs and they came in this order:
4-1-1 Left front wheel inlet valve: open circuit or short circuit
2-1-3 Left rear wheel sensor: no signal on moving off
2-1-4 Right rear wheel sensor: no signal on moving off
1-4-2 Faulty stop (brake) lamp switch: open circuit

When I tried clearing 'em, I managed to clear 3 of them and the only one that stayed (pending) is 4-1-1, I cant clear that one. So, left front wheel inlet valve: open circuit or short circuit. Does this mean that it's damaged or..?

The Valves are in the ABS unit. There might be a problem in there.
That is usually only when the that code comes up is when there is actually a problem.

Ok, so what do you suggest? Can anything be done about that or the only way to go is the new abs unit?

Pretty much the only way to go is replace the ABS unit with a New/Used unit.
It is not a common problem.

Ok, so I've replaced the abs unit and traction light cleared right away, abs stayed on until I drove it up to the 20 mph then it cleared as well. So no problems on the dash, luckily this used abs unit seems to be fine.
But, I checked the diagnostic box one more time to see if I can clear this code :4-1-1 and it is still pending, I cant clear it even if the abs light is not on. I also tried disconnectiog the battery briefly (only 20 secs) but that didnt help either.
Since this code is still memorized does that mean that something is still wrong or it just takes time to clear by itself?

You might want to double check the wire on the l/f sensor.
Other than that try clearing and driving again.

I don't think on OBDI there is a way to monitor the sensors.
