A2 DTC Codes

DTC: ECT-123 Diagnostic Socket A2
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Code
The diagnostic trouble code EFI-123 is stored in the Engine
Control Unit (ECU). The code, if set will be in diagnostic socket A2.
A code will be set if the signal received at the ECU is below -44 C or
above 148 C. When the engine is started a theoretical temperature is
assumed and once that temperature reaches 75 C it is compared to the
actual reading from the ECT. If the ECT temperature is lower than 58 C
the code will be set. Should the code be set idle air trim adaptation
is disabled, long-term fuel trim is disabled, leakage diagnostics is
disabled and initial boost pressure is adopted. Replacement of the
sensor can be done by following the instructions for replacing the
thermostat. If you haven't replaced your thermostat in 60K or notice
that it takes a while for the temp gauge to get to the 3:00 position,
you might want to replace it while you are doing the ECT sensor.

Oxygen Sensor Codes Diagnostic socket A2:
EFI-153,212,425,435,436,521,533
When any of the Oxygen Sensor codes are set, the most common
repair is to replace the faulty sensor, however don't over look
possible causes for the sensor to have failed such as: intake leak,
exhaust leak, faulty spark plugs or wires, low compression on one or
more cylinders, bad gas, or failed catalytic converter. Normally when
an O2 sensor code has been set, fuel trim is inhibited and possible
three-way catalytic converter (TWC) damage may occur. It is always a
good idea to first read the codes and then see if they return prior to
replacing any sensor, however if you have access to a scan tool, the
tool can tell you how many times the code has been set, and if it's
more than once or twice, you can be sure it is not a glitch in the
system and a repair is in order. The oxygen sensor used in the Volvo
FWD 850 is a 4-wire Bosch sensor, some owners have had success at
replacing the sensor with an after market (Bosch) sensor. The sensor
must be soldered into the existing wiring harness, if your not handy
with a soldering iron then by the Volvo replacement. Instructions for
replacing the sensors can be found in the repair section of this site
at bay13.
EFI-153; In order for the rear sensor to be able to monitor
the three way catalytic converter and affect fuel trim, it must be at
operating temperature and at the correct output voltage. Monitoring
begins 3 minutes after start of the preheating. If the output voltage
is different than the permitted values the code 153, Rear HO2 sensor
signal missing or faulty is set.
EFI-212; After 3 minutes of monitoring if the front sensor
deviates from the permitted values, code 212, front HO2S signal
missing or faulty is set.
EFI-425; the rear sensor ensures the front is adjusting
integrator values correctly, if all positive or negative, the rear
sensor can be used to fine-tune the front sensors inputs. Tuning in
only one direction by the rear sensor will set code 425, rear HO2
sensor control faulty.
EFI-435; the ECM clocks the time for the sensor to sweep from
rich to lean and back to rich, excessive time will set code 435, HO2S
front slow to respond.
EFI-436; the ECM monitors the compensation being made by the
rear sensor and sets this code when excessive compensation is being
called for. Note: the front sensor can cause this code to be set in
the rear.
EFI-521 (front), EFI-522 (rear) is set if the ECM detects
excessive or insufficient current in the heating circuits.

Now, is there any way, outside of buying or borrowing some apparently
very expensive electronic diagnostic equipment, that I can display any
codes this vehicle has?

The 1993 850 has an on-board diagnostic unit that can be read without
any tools.
See http://volvospeed.com/Repair/a2.html
More at
http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/tech/service/850/TroubleshootingWithCodes-Turbo.pdf

The sockets on the unit are
A1 - Transmission
A2 - Fuel injection
A3 - ABS
B1 - A/C
B2 - Cruise control
B5 - Airbags

By the way, regarding your ignition problem, my two cents are on the
camshaft or crankshaft sensor...

Thanks a lot, Jarkka. I suspected this was possible with some of the
Volvo models but for some reason could not google any info about it.

Are these sensors easy to locate visually, and is it often a wiring
problem rather than an actual sensor failure, as it is in my Jaguar?

The camshaft sensor is located near (or actually within) the upper
engine mount/torque bar. If it's the original, it looks like a small
ice hockey puck (newer ones are shiny metal). I've heard of people
discovering broken wiring, but if the sensor is the old type with a
black plastic cover, I'd change it anyway. The replacement procedure
is quite obvious.

The crankshaft sensor is mounted on top of the bell housing - fairly
easy to replace if you have a bit of dexterity (having small fingers
help). I seem to remember that there's been interference problems when
the wiring of the sensor has been tied to the HT ignition lead nearby,
but I don't think this would result in stopping-and-going.

You might find this doc useful:

Thanks again, Jarkka. I'll be back to the farm this weekend and have
a look at all these things to see what's causing the failure to start.
