Volvo fault codes

171 distinct codes across 190 real Volvo diagnostics.

171 distinct codes across 190 real diagnostics on Volvo, including the Volvo-specific ones no generic code list can decode.

Volvo-specific codes

These are manufacturer-specific, which means the same code on another marque is a different fault. That is exactly why they have no page of their own and no entry in any generic code list. Scoped to Volvo and ranked by how often we have actually seen them, they are a claim we can stand behind.
