I have an Actron that I got at AutoZone about 5 months ago for $140 or so on "special". I was weary at first given some of the junk tools that Autozone sells but it has been very useful for me and I am happy with it. It has thrown codes for a bad o2 sensor, bad secondary Air system pump/relay and the PNP switch in my 97 960. All were problems that needed to be fixed.

I have heard on the board that the codes for standard ODB scanners are "generic" relative to the expensive Volvo ODB code scanner but my scanner has more than paid for itself so far. It gets you in the ball park and the bricboard can be used to fill in the gaps as some people can provide more detail if you post a code.

The Actron was one of the less expensive handheld units I found. I was less interested in the PC based readers because I can keep the handheld reader in my car at all times.

Best,

Angus
