This tool is specially designed to work with all OBD 2 compliant vehicles, including
Controller Area Network (CAN). It is required by EPA that all 1996 and newer
vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the United States must be OBD 2 compliant
and this includes all American, Asian and European vehicles.
A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are OBD 2
compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD 2 compliant, check the
following:
1.
Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label
. It is located under the
hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD 2 compliant, the
label will designate “OBD 1I Certified”.
2. Government regulations mandate that all OBD 2 compliant vehicles
must
have
a “common” 16-pin
Data Link Connector (DLC)
.
