1996 and newer cars are required to be OBD2... It stands for On Board Diagnostics, so a mechanic can plug in a scanner to read trouble codes and other stuff

Where is the obd2 connector on a Saab 900 convertible?

obd2 were required on 96 and later cars, and by the specifications for it, it should be under the steering column or have a label there telling where it is. Earlier cars have the more generic obd sensors, which can be slightly different between manufacturers. As such a reader for obd2 is not usually compatible with older cars. I am not sure where the obe sensor is on pre-1996 saab 900s.

OBD2 diagnostics were federally mandated for all cars made/assembled/imported into the USA in 1996. A quick check of the emissions label on top of the radiator should tell you, as well as the shape of the diagnostic port. yes, any OBD2 tool will work.

1996 Maxima gxe obd1 or obd2?

All cars and light trucks built and sold in the United States after January 1, 1996 were required to be OBD II equipped. In general, this means all 1996 model year cars and light trucks are compliant, even if built in late 1995. However there is no guarentee your 1996 is OBD2. Some early 1996 Nissan Maxima's were OBD1 and later models were OBD2. The OBD2 connector is a 16 pin connector and is almost always located on the driver's side under the dash.


Is it possible to read engine codes in a 95 Bonneville with no scan tool?

AnswerYes, the 95 GM computers were the GM OBD1 standard and you could read the codes by connecting a jumper wire between two pins of the code scanner port, then turn on the key to watch the "check engine" light for the codes. You will need to research a little more to figure out which pins to attach the jumpers. Uh, not necessarily......My 1995 SSE is a transition car. The government wasn't sure what OBD2 would be, so they pre-released OBD2 to see how the car builders would react. GM reacted by hastily building cars with this version of OBD2. Shortly thereafter, the government released the ACTUAL OBD2 standard. They may CALL your car OBD2, but it may be a TRANSISION OBD2.The result? If you have an OBD1 car, you can get the error codes from the check engine light.If you have an OBD2 car, you must use a scan tool to retrieve and reset the codes. BUT, if you have a transition car like mine, you are neither OBD1 NOR OBD2. You have one of the infamous transition cars. They have an OBD2 plug (computer) connector, but an OBD2 scan tool will not read them! What you must make sure of when you buy a scan tool is that it will read transition cars. Some of these tools require a special adapter or cable to read transition cars.I hope you are not one of the transition people. If you're not, then your 95 is an OBD2 and any OBD2 reader will get the job done.Good luck.


How do you Detect cam sensor problems on a 850 Volvo?

youll need either an obd2 scanner in later cars or obd1 on board on the cars computer. obd stands for on board diagnostics. this runs codes for things that computer senses are bad or going bad. take it to autoparts stores for the obd2. best to buy a manual or chiltons / haynes manual to help with repairs.
