not all 1995 vehicle's have OBD II, since OBD II is meant for all 1996 + vehicles. But check the emission decal under your hood, at the top tip. Though If you are lucky enough to be OBD II compliant, all OBD II senors are inside the vehicle under the dash (steering wheel).

What does OBD 2 do?

OBD stands for "On Board Diagnostics". OBD-II gives the vehicle owner or repair technician access to the status of the various vehicle subsystems. The OBD-II standard provides an extensible list of Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Starting with vehicles manufactured in 1996, the OBD-II specification was made mandatory for all cars manufactured in the United States to be sold in the United States.


How does obd work?

On-Board Diagnostics, or OBD, in an automotive context, is a generic term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or a repair technician access to state of health information for various vehicle sub-systems. The amount of diagnostic information available via OBD has varied widely since the introduction in the early 1980's of on-board vehicle computers, which made OBD possible. Early instances of OBD would simply illuminate a malfunction indicator light, or MIL, if a problem were detected-but would not provide any information as to the nature of the problem. Modern OBD implementations use a standardized fast digital communications port to provide myriad realtime data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow one to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle.
