Hi,
Does anyone know of a good source for a cheap PC-based OBD II diagnostic package for a V90?

I have a '97 V90 ('98 model) with an OBD II diagnostic socket. My local Volvo shop does not have the tool to read and reset DTCs. I have seen a couple of low-cost PC-based systems such as the Ease scan tool but they are only ISO 9141 generics and I don't think that they will cope with the Volvo-specific enhanced powertrain diagnostic code resets.

My specific problem was alternately flashing W/E lights and a flashing arrow on the dash. The transmission also locked itself into 3rd. This was diagnosed and reset by a main dealer (313 - PNP malfunction, 423 - ? and another code I couldn't read upside-down) but it would be good if I could read and reset the DTCs myself. The (friendly) local guys use s/h spares and their labour is 1/4 the cost of the main dealer.

TIA
Chris
