    fault code scanner ?

    I want to be able to read fault codes for engine management and abs systems on a 1995 850 t5r (with obd2 socket).I would also like to be able to reset fault codes and the service light.Is there a reader that will do all these functions without paying silly money ?
    Thanks

    It has an OBD2 socket but it might not be OBD2-compliant...

    I can't remember the year that 850s became OBD2 compatible. Search on here, the answer is probably around...!

    You need VOL-FCR.

    You might be able to read some of the codes with a generic reader, but the UK cars were not fully OBD2 compliant until '99 (I think).

    As far as I'm aware non of the 850's are OBD 2 compliant. You can get code readers but they will only read 850's. Although they have an OBD socket they still use the old flash codes. At work we have three different scan tool's, non of them will read my T5 !
