Scanner that can access Volvo specific codes - does it exist? V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Yuri on  Wed May 14 13:50 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I did some research on the web and on this board. I understand that usual OBDII scanners can only access generic codes, mostly about emission system, the codes that start with P0xxx
Volvo specific codes, that start with P1xxx can be accessed by the scanners that Volvo dealers have.
Some web sites claim that their scanners can read, interpret, and clear Volvo codes (SRS, ABS, Climate control, etc). These are usually PC (laptop)- based, and require special software running on a PC. OBDII connection is made with a special cable (serial to OBDII).

Here is my question - does anyone on this esteemed forum used or had a scanner that can read and clear Volvo-specific codes? can this be done at all?

The "No' answer I already know. Does anyone has a "Yes' answer?

Thank you,
Yuri
