• Work outdoors or in a well ventilated area – risk of personal and/or fatal injury from inhalation of exhaust fumes.
• Pay attention to moving parts (fan, auxiliary drive etc.) when the engine is running – risk of serious personal injury.
• Internal combustion engines get very hot when they are switched on – risk of burn injury.
• The engine and ignition must be switched off when connecting or disconnecting the test equipment, otherwise the test equipment or electronics in the vehicle can be damaged. Switch off  the ignition before connecting the fault code reader to, or disconnecting it from, the Data Link Connector (DLC).

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Fault code reader for Volvo models. A useful diagnostic tool with support for on-board diagnostics 2 (OBD-II). Reads vehicle information, resets fault codes and has smart diagnostic tools and special functions to turn off warning indicators for oil pressure, parking brake (EPB), battery (BMS) and electronic throttle control (ETC). Supplied in protective case with carry strap.

ABOUT FAULT CODES

The OBD II system stores fault codes (Diagnostic Trouble Codes, DTC) in the vehicle’s computer system. The fault codes provide information on the type of fault and where and in which conditions the fault occurred, which simplifies fault tracing and correction. The OBD II codes consist of a 5 character alphanumeric string. The first character is a letter that indicates which control system has caused the fault. The following four characters are digits that provide supplementary information on where and in which conditions the fault code was generated. See example below.
