OBD I diagnostic system-how to read it
 

RE: a 1995 E320, is there a brief tutorial someone can point me to on how to use/read the on-board computer fault codes that may be stored? I found the interface, but how do you activate it and where can I find what the codes mean? Thanks.

Search Arthur Dalton's posts.

Wow!
 

That is thorough, thanks. I'm used to working on OBD II with a scan tool and Volvos with OBD I. Pre-1996 Volvos allow you to also read climate control/emission control/ABS/transmission/power seat issues etc. with just the device in the engine bay. MB pre-1996 only supply engine codes? What do you do if the ABS light is on? How do you know which is the suspect wheel? What about the transmission?

Kool!
 

THAT is invaluable. I didn't read the whole thing yet, but i"m going to print that out - thanks again. Whereabouts in NH are you?
