No. Most heavy duty trucks and heavy equipment requires software for which an OBD scanner for light duty vehicles is not compatible, and usually also require an RP1210 Diagnostic Link Adapter.
No, the 1995 Dakota is obd 1. OBD-2 didn't start until '96 for most vehicles.
Yes you use a OBD 1 reader
Yes you can OBD 2 reader/scanner are the only thing that will work to get codes
OBD I, but for the most part, you can use OBD II
OBD2
It depends on reader. If you reader can supports OBD I and has appropriate adapter then you are good to go.
use an OBD-I code reader.
You got to use a OBD 2 code reader or scanner
I tried plugging in an obd ii code reader into a v reg corsa and it wouldnt read the fault codes. So i dont think they are obd ii compliant. It should have a sticker under the bonet next to the vin plate if it is obd ii. obd ii didnt come into all vehicles untill 2001 although some manufacturers did use obd ii from 1996. There is also different protocalls of obd ii such as vag, aobd,kps. There are around 9 different protocalls and not all code readers will work on all protocalls. i hope i have been of some help to you
The 2000 Neon use the OBD 2 reader and the connector is under left side of dash; over hood rise; by kick panel
To check codes in an OBD-I system, a scanner specifically designed for OBD-I vehicles is required, as standard OBD-II scanners are not compatible. Many users opt for a basic OBD-I code reader or a multimeter to check the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) through the vehicle's diagnostic connector. Some popular OBD-I scanners include the Actron CP9015 or the OTC 4000 series. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific diagnostic procedures and connector locations.
The paper clip trick was a OBD I GM thing. For your 97 Ford you need a code reader for OBD II.
