This OBDII / EOBD Car Professional Scan Tool is specially
designed to work with all OBD II compliant vehicles, including
those equipped with the next-generation protocol - Control
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 II compliant and this includes all Domestic,
Asian and European vehicles.
A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline
vehicles are OBD II compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995
vehicle is OBD II compliant, check the Vehicle Emissions
Control Information (VECI) Label which is located under the
hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD
II compliant, the label will designate “OBD II Certified”.
Additionally, Government regulations mandate that all OBD II
compliant vehicles must have a “common” sixteen-pin Data
Link Connector (DLC).
For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin
DLC (Data Link Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle
Emission Control Information Label must state that the vehicle
is OBD II compliant.
