2g ECU question

[95'RS-T]

OK I have searched for this but I'm not getting the answer to the question I'm asking.
So, My car is a 95 eclipse N/T I was wondering if I could change out my ECU with a 96 eclipse N/T ECU and would I be able to use the OBD2 on my 95 then If i would change them out? PS. I know it would be a lot cheaper to buy a OBD1 code reader But i can get the ECU for nothing if it will work. Thanks

Your 95 should already be OBDII.

Your 95 should already be OBDII.

This is true since both of my 95's are OBDII and I have been able to read the codes at Auto Zone on my GS.

it has the OBD2 port but when i plug my scanner in it dont read the codes at all. OBD2 i thought is for 96 and newer?

The OP has a N/T eclipse with the 420A engine. It is not OBDII. The 1995 turbo DSM's have an (almost) OBDII compliant ECU, from Mitsubishi but the 420A uses a Chrysler ECU.

i have a 95 rs and it reads OBDII. I think it just depends when your ecu was manufactured. There are early and late model 95 ECUs
