RE Scan Tool 850 1995

Right, you CAN read and clear all fault codes manually w/o ANY scan tool. A generic type scan tool won't help you much, even IF it'd connect and read codes with your '95 car. A Volvo VST scan tool (VERY costly, dealer only tool) can connect to your car WITH an extra adaptor (not via your OBDII plug either) and THAT tool can do more than anything else, like monitor various functions BUT it's very rare when you'ld ever really need that.
Save your money and don't buy any scan tool. Many DIY type people like the pre-'96 850s because of the fact that they don't need a scan tool.
