Ive read on here that there are odb 2 ports in front of the shifter/under the coin holder but im assuming this is on automatics? i have a 95 manual transmission and a few things ive read say that my volvo should have a port, where is it?

 

Same place

 

I have a 95 5-speed and it has NO OBDII port. I had a 94 with. They had two different styles of ECU. The 95 was the earlier style of the two.

 

I only know of two locations. Next to the cig lighter in the older cars, under the arm rest on the later cars.

 

If the car is turbo, it likely has the OBD2 from '94. If the car is NA, most didn't have it till '96.

 

Can you take a picture of under your coin tray so we can see if the provision is there but the port is not?

 

I don't know about the USA but here in Australia, if the 850 has OBD I then there is no coin tray, just a shallow plain tray.


If it had OBD II then it had a slotted tray that meant the coins stand upright.

 

 

If you have a 95 then it would need to be in the console.

 

I want to see a picture of his console.

 

Awesome thanks for the info its n/a so no odb port. I'll post a photo soon

 

I'm pretty sure that this is true on my car too sadly. Thanks for the info

 

Somebody post a picture please....

 

My Canadian version of the 1997 850AWD standard model is located here:

 

We all have that....looking for pictures without the port.

 

I was under the impression if it was OBD II 850 then that is where it is located on all of them?

 

Pre 1996, no port.

See Odbfinder.com

 

OBD2 was madatory for 1996 model year vehicles, but there was nothing that said the manufacturers couldn't do it sooner, which is what Volvo did. I've had maybe half a dozen '95's and they all had the port, as they were all OBD2

 

I will post a photo tomorrow but theres a weird yellow pronged thingy under there and I have a coin tray without the little slots in it

 

I have three 95 850's with the port. Volvo was way ahead of the game on the OBDII ports and most if not all 95's have them.
