You don't need a code reader , all you do is stick a paperclip in the ALDL connector and the check engine light will flash the codes for free

Your profile states you have a Volvo
This is a 3rd Gen GM F-BODY Forum ,
none of which had OBDII so a OBDII reader will not work on them

If you are actually inquiring about a code reader for a Volvo then go to a Volvo Forum

I get that its a thirdgen, but you are coming down a little hard on a guy who probably barely speaks english, heck for all we know he's posting this through google translate.

Mods should just lock this thread so it falls into obscurity.
