Instead of an OBD2 Try the older type OBD reader. Your reader is probably for newer vehicles.
read my answer to reseting engine codes below...2001 olds silhouette..
With an OBD2 scan tool.
The codes are read with an OBD2 scanner.
Take the car to a repair shop and have them read out the failure codes via the OBD2 connector under the dash. The codes will tell you what parts of the system need attention.
The scan tool needs to communicate to read the codes.
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
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.
An OBD2 code reader is used by locating the connector under the dash and attaching it to the vehicle. It then reads the diagnostic codes of the engine which can be read or deleted using the control pad.
For Volkswagen Beetles made from 1998-2014, the OBD II port is located under the left side of the dashboard on the driver's side of the car. The OBD II is the on-board diagnostics system and a scanner is needed to read the codes.
no obd2 readers only read most vehicles 96 and newer , you'll have to take it to a mechanic and have an obd1 read on the computer diagnostics
if you open the fuse box it is a 20 amp yellow one on the top row second row back from front of car i beleave it is called read outlet or some thing along that line
