How do I hook up my OBDII to check codes on my ECC ? 96 Volvo GLT...Thanks.

 

most OBDII readers only read powertrain/emissions codes not the special chassis codes.

FYI, check out this vid.

 

Well, that's great! I wonder if that works on some years of the V70.

 

I tried this on my 96 850 turbo and it didn't work at all. At first I didn't have an LED bulb so I used an incandesent bulb, everything seemed to work just as the clip said but no codes or blips of light to read appeared. Then I ordered a 12v led and tried it, but it didn't even light up before the ignition was on, and still no codes were able to be read. At this point, I don't know.

 

Sounds like you either mis-wired it or the led is connected backwards. Check it again; it should work.

 

Spot on! Hat's off! Yes after checking, with attention to detail, I did have the led light wired backwards. Once corrected I was able to receive codes to see my direction. Both my interior temp sensors need work or replacement. I see these are discontinued and I haven't been able to locate any anywhere, it there a fix for these? What are my options here, if any? Thanks.

 

Yeah I wish I knew where they were available. I've got a 417 DTC as we speak. I could have sworn these were recently available (volvo p/n 9134822 or 9144337) on fcp and other sites. I even emailed fcp a few days ago, but they said nope, NLA. Guess I'll try to scrounge a working one from pic n pull, but that's an unreliable fix at best. I've tried the "cleaning and lubing" thing, but from my experience, it 's only lasts a week or so.
