    Your '95 850T has the DLC for the OBDII system there in the center console under the coin holder. On the under side of the hood (passenger side) you should see a sticker that says the vehicle is OBDII compliant. You will only get generic OBDII codes with an off the shelf OBDII reader, but at least it's something. The Volvo dealership has the special Volvo scanner that can read ALL the DTC codes plus a bunch of other stuff off the Volvo ECU, but the ECU won't communicate too well with other non-Volvo scanners or analysers. Later model Volvos are much better communicators.

    I am not sure that all '95's have a OBD II diagnostic port. I had a 1995 850 GLT wagon and it had the port. It was on the center consol under the coin holder.

      Yes, that's the connector I was talking about. Will it show codes if I connect the reader to it? I hate opening up the hood and pressing buttons to check the codes. Sometime you misscount the pulses and started all over again.

        I'd give it a try and see what happens. You can't hurt anything connecting a scanner up to the port.
