How do you reset the service light, check codes for climate control, and ABS. I have an obd reader but it only does check engine and emission stuff. Tell me what I need to buy that does this. Please Rick

There are a couple low tech ( aka cheap) methods for dealing with the service light if you don't want to spend $80. to $150. for a gizmo that has one use. Remove the bulb (free) or go to Home Depot and buy a roll of electrician tape (~$1.00) and cut a small square and stick it over the light. Alex Peper's software will also reset the light on 96-97 850's

You need a Draper tool.

Hi Mike,
I see I can purchase this tool in England for £38 ($72). Question is, apart from resetting the service light, does it show diagnostics or anything like that (no info on toolmix webpage)?
Cheers
Andy

Thank you, that will take care of the service light. I also want to get codes for the ABS , SRS, Trans and cilmate control. just like the data link on my 94 and 95

Do a search for VOL-FCR software. Runs off a laptop and does all that you need. In fact, you can download a demo to see if it will work the way you want. It will, but you will also need a OBD-2 compliant interface cable as well.

For the other codes you'll need a Tech2 or the factory Volvo Scantool. Big bucks either way.
