My old OBD scanner screws up 2005 V70

posted by  someone claiming to be fedka on  Sun Nov 13 12:40 CST 2011 [RELATED]

I just bought a used 2005 V70. I did not have any problems or Check Engline light on.
I plugged my OBD scanner, which I bought 4 years ago and used happily on my 2001 V70, and go a lot of odd problems: trip mileage disappeared, BRAKE FAILURE came up, and the transmission display (where the letter is displayed) showed only a dash (-). The scanner itself showed "Link error'.

The BRAKE FAILURE cleared after a few engine starts, then 'TRANSMISSION SERVICE required" came, shifting was rough, and then it also cleared. So the car is back to normal, but now I have a 'Check engine" light (which I can't clear).

Anybody knows what changed for 2005 from 2001? The scanner is CAN compliant, it is a cheap off-brand model, but it worked well on 2001 V70.

Thank you!

Yuri
