Probably. I know my '94 100 S stores the codes until they
are cleared. Your '95 isn't ODB-II yet (is it?), so it should
have the two connectors which, when jumped, clear the codes.

The following site explains how to jump the ODB-I(?) connectors
to read the codes.  If you jump the _other_ terminals in the
connectors for 3 seconds, that should clear the codes.

I agree.  My '89 10V needed a lot of maintenance to sort it out
just after I bought it, and then kept on needing more to keep
it going. I've spent next to nothing on my '94 100 S Avant. But
I do miss the 200 TQ.
