VEHICLES COVERED
The D900 CanScan 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.
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.
