94 850 check engine and service lights

Is there a way to read the error code and clear the service light without paying the dealership $150?

yes there is

1:) Bring car over to your local foreign car specialist or try Autozone who can read the codes & reset the lights for you 2:) You can purchase a OBD1 scanner & read the codes yourself

Owning a 1997 855 TDI and reading that posting I started to get interested in the topic. I searched the net and got the impression that these scanners are made specifically for one car manufacturer only? So one has to get a specific Volvo-OBD1-scanner for the 1992-1995 models?

Then I noticed in my Haynes manual, that from 1996 and later the cars are equipped with an OBD2-interface. This interface should be "standardized". So would any OBD2-scanner read the codes or are there devices more suitable for Volvo cars than others?

Is it possible to replace the scanner by a laptop + a special cable to connect it to the OBD2-port + special software?

Interested

The 1994 model should have a diagnostic module with LED readout in the engine compartment.

Depending on the fuel/ignition system fitted, all ignition/fuel system codes are read from socket A2, or they are divided between A2 (fuel system) and A6 (ignition).

The sockets are: A1 - Transmission A2 - Fuel system; Ignition (with Fenix engine management system) A3 - ABS A6 - Ignition (with LH3.2/EZ129K fuel/ignition system) A7 - Combined instrument B1 - Climate control (ECC) B2 - Cruise control B5 - SRS B6 - Power seat
