About the Car Reader
VEHICLES COVERED
VEHICLES COVERED
The Car Reader is designed to work on all OBD 2 compliant vehicles. All 1996
and newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United States are OBD 2
compliant. This includes all Domestic, Asian and European vehicles.
Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles are OBD 2 compliant. To find out if a 1994 or
1995 vehicle is OBD 2 compliant, check the following:
1. The Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label. This label is
located under the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD 2
compliant, the label will state “OBD II Certified.”
2. Government Regulations require that all OBD 2
compliant vehicles must have a “common”
sixteen-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).
Some 1994 and 1995 vehicles have 16-pin connectors but are not
OBD 2 compliant. Only those vehicles with a Vehicle Emissions Control
Label stating “OBD II Certified” are OBD 2 compliant.
Data Link Connector (DLC) Location
The 16-pin DLC is usually located under
the instrument panel (dash), within 12
inches (300 mm) of center of the panel,
on the driver’s side of most vehicles. It
should be easily accessible and visible
from a kneeling position outside the
vehicle with the door open.
On some Asian and European vehicles the DLC is located behind the
“ashtray” (the ashtray must be removed to access it) or on the far left
corner of the dash. If the DLC cannot be located, consult the vehicle’s
service manual for the location.
