Artidag 500 does not have a1996 geo tracker in the library, can it be added ? Or some other way to diagnose this vehicle?
The Topdon ArtiDiag 500 supports OBD2 diagnostics. If the 1996 Geo Tracker has an OBD2 port and follows standard OBD2 protocols, the ArtiDiag 500 should be able to diagnose it. However, some early OBD2 vehicles may have limited compatibility. If the ArtiDiag 500 does not support the vehicle, an alternative method would be using an older scan tool specifically designed for early OBD2 systems or a manufacturer-specific diagnostic tool.
