I bought the OBD-II code reader/diagnostic tool from IPD (Foxwell NT300). It reads codes and displays realtime operating data on my 1998 S90 and my son's 2001 XC70 with no problem. So the pre-99 restriction on your device is puzzling. I thought that OBD-II was standardized as of the the 1996 model year, and later years were compatible...(at least for North American market veh's).

Perhaps Euro-spec OBD of your year vehicle are not recognizable to your device and trigger a generic error msg?
