VEHICLES COVERED
OBD 2 Code 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.
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.
Beginning in 2003, a very limited number of manufacturers
(including Ford, General Motors, Mazda and Saab) began
using a new computer protocol called Controller Area
Network (CAN) on some OBD 2 vehicles. In basic terms,
CAN allows manufacturers to increase and diversify the
speed at which the computer communicates with different
systems in the vehicle. CAN will be mandatory on all cars by
2008. The OBD 2 Code Reader is compatible with all OBD
2 protocols, including CAN.
