On Board Diagnostics
OBD stands for "On-Board Diagnostics". It is a computer access point on all 1996 and newer vehicles sold in the United States. This "OBD plug" is where your car dealer can "read" the vehilce's on-board computers stored codes. It is used for trouble-shooting your vehicles problems when you take your vehicle in for service.
OBD is the acronym for "On Board Diagnostic". OBD-II (OBD-2) started in 1996. Vehicles built in 1995 and before are OBD-I (OBD-1). I hope this helps, good luck.
No, the 1995 Dakota is obd 1. OBD-2 didn't start until '96 for most vehicles.
The OBD II Scan Tool is a professional Windows-PC diagnostics scan tool for compliant vehicles. The tool is very helpful and effective according to a lot of reviews.
There is no OBD plug as found on OBD2 compliant vehicles. But there is a plug under the hood. Click the links.
OBD-1 started in the later 1970's and began appearing on most US vehicles up until 1996. After 1996 OBD-2 was implemented.

The OBD port on a 2002 Honda Accord is located on the engine. There are other vehicles that have it on driver side of the dashboard.
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.
A 1995 Continental is not OBD-II compliant, as the OBD-II system became mandatory for vehicles sold in the United States starting with the 1996 model year. However, some 1995 vehicles may have OBD-II connectors and features, but they would not fully comply with OBD-II standards. Thus, while it may have some diagnostic capabilities, it does not meet the complete OBD-II specifications.
The 1996 Renault Megane Scenic is not OBD-II compliant, as OBD-II standards were implemented in vehicles starting in 1996 but primarily in North America. In Europe, many vehicles did not fully adopt OBD-II until later. The Megane Scenic may have earlier diagnostic systems, such as OBD-I or proprietary systems, depending on the market and regulations at the time.
No, a 1994 Honda Del Sol does not have an OBD-II sensor; it is equipped with an OBD-I system. OBD-II became standard in vehicles starting in 1996. If you need to diagnose issues with a 1994 Del Sol, you would use an OBD-I scanner or the manufacturer's specific diagnostic procedures.
