VEHICLES COVERED
The OBD2 Scan Tool is designed to work on all OBD 2 compliant vehi-
cles. All 1996 and newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the
United States are OBD 2 compliant.
Federal law requires that all 1996 and newer cars and light
trucks sold in the United States must be 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 eas-
ily accessible and visible from
a kneeling position outside the
vehicle with the door open.
