PUlling codes S70 1998

OK, I bought a connector from obd-2.com and finally got it, hooked it up and got a code $17. Anyone have any ideas on this? I also have the haynes manual from the UK and it is fairly funny to read (hood=bonnet, etc) but no info on codes.

Anyone offer any suggestions on this code or where I can find info about it?

This seems to be a problem that has happened to previous owner who spent $1k on the fix which included new gas cap, new air pump, new air pump sensor, etc. But, I think it is something else.......obviously!

Thanks for any help you can provide. While I'm trying to figure out the sofware, I also received the following which may or not be relevant:

$17
$05
$0F IAT
$13 o2SLOC

Thanks!

    this isn't answering your question, but can you tell me more about the obd-2.com stuff? did you get the software from them as well or just the cable? If you got the package, how is it otherwise? Are the continuous readings useful at all? Any information about it would be extremely helpful. I've been thinking about it for a year but haven't convinced myself its worth it.

    any slim chance it clears the service light? I have not found any sources on this at all. Thanks!

      Let's see.... I've used it one time and I think I found it useful. I don't think there is any advantage to the continuous mainly as I don't know what the hell I'm doing! Pretty cool to see data feed to a laptop while driving that is all.

      I chose this "risky" route as it was about $70 cheaper than a decent code reader. Now don't go and tell me that there are others.

      Downside I think is that this only covers a small portion of the volvo codes which I think can be had for the $2,500 snap on tool which is a bit crazy. If I win the lottery, i'll buy it!

      Now a question for you... got a "low voltage" indicator and a code. The code is for the outside air temperature sensor. WHich is used in internal climate and for air/fuel mixture I understand. This makes sense why the a/c once in awhile flashes its lights indicating a fault and supports the 134 degree reading I got last week when it was only 80!

      The one thing now is that I have this data, does this mean replace that sensor and all should be fixed?

        geez. wish I could help you with that. I had no idea the outside temp sensor was used for anything other than telling you the temp. Mine hardly every seems to read right, so I'm shocked the engineers would set that up as the air/fuel mixture decider. As a matter of fact, I tend to doubt it. This is determined by a sensor in your intake. It HAS to be. The outside temp sensor is under the car near the road. This would be an extremely poor choice to control any type of engine functions. Are you sure of this information?
