OBD2 reader compatible with MY19 XC60?
 

Orange engine error dash light today.

Basic Streetwize OBD2 reader not compatible.

How can I read the error code?

Further to the above:

Purchased this item here today. Stated as ISO14230-4 KWP compatible.

The Volvo XC60 MY19 OBD2 port in my vehicle is as follows:

Therefore, according to this resource, the vehicle should be fully ISO9141/ISO14230-4 (KWP2000) compatible with this device.

I have followed the product instruction manual exactly as prescribed here as follows:

Yet the result is an unsuccessful "Link Error" as follows (50-second video):

So is there a problem with this device, or my vehicle, or both?

How do I simply read my vehicle's engine error codes?

Volvo use a unique to Volvo Vida diagnostics, they have stitched us all up (like Land rover with my TD5 that uses expensive to buy diagnostic equipment)
You may find a reader that gives a very limited amount of code reading.
I have read claims of these being able to read some codes but have not tried one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-OBD2...-/312726612564

Your car is still under warranty, take it to any Volvo dealer and they will read the fault code and sort it out.

Thank you for the clarification and confirmation.

I suppose a genuine VIDA reader and cable costs serious money?

One question: I thought OBD and CAD were legal requirements?

The car is literally six months old. We did not go new for this.

Volvo don't have everything stitched up because OBDII is a legal requirement across all manufacturers.
I use it on my 17 year old car, my much newer BMW motorcycle and it's still applicable to the fanciest of new cars.
This means that even the cheapest £4 ELM327 dongles should work once connected to a free app on your phone.

OBDII is only for engine and auto transmission codes though so don't expect the detail which can be obtained from using Dice and Vida..... Not that Dice and Vida would be of any use to anyone in this section as all SPA platform cars use a dealer only online version of Volvo's diagnostics software.

I may be jumping in too soon here but I use a Carista on my other car (Audi) and that reads pretty every fault code from pretty much every module, and allows customisation. But as you say, Volvo!

Agree with the post above re ELM reader. I have one from around 2010 and works with the my XC60

Would you mind posting a photograph of it for us please?

Also, what year is your XC60?

I also have an ELM based device, the same as in the link of #3. I use it with Torque Pro on a Samsung smartphone, it works with our 12 years
ols and with the MY2018 XC90: https://torque-bhp.com/wiki/Main_Page
Of course it only shows generic (EMS) parameters and codes.

I bought two ELM327 OBD2 Bluetooth interfaces, and keep one in each of my cars so can immediately read the stored codes whenever the engine warning light comes on. They work in conjunction with an app suitable for whatever mobile device you have (I use the 'Car Scanner' app on my Android phone). Bought my interfaces from here (free delivery)... https://uk.gearbest.com/car-gadgets/...ml?wid=1433363

As said, OBD2 is a universal standard. However, for some odd reason, some readers do not work with some vehicles.
