obd1

[95dsm-gst]

hey, ive been searching thru the web to try to find an obd1 reader for my car but all it seems to show up for was for honda nissan ford and gm. then i tried looking for a obd1 to a obd2 adapter but it showed only for hondas and it showed me a datalogger for my car which i dont need at the moment. so can neone tell me where to buy an obd1 reader for my car or an obd1 to a obd2 adapter? my car is a 1995 eclipse gst.

95+ should be OBDII.

Your 95 is OBD II.

Oddly enough, the dweeb at AutoZone was full of crap. Go figure.

Your friend is also full of crap and doesn't know anything about DSMs.

All 2G Turbo DSMs are OBDII I don't know jack about the neons in DSM clothes and don't know what they are.

Got it?

ive had the same issue. since some of the 95 eclipses were built in 94 the will be odb1. it is highly annoying since I cant find one either. shits rough man

I have an early 95 and its obd2. I thought all 95 were obd2

 

[synthetek]

They are all ODBII, I have an early 95 and it is too. The eclipse was one of the 1st cars to have OBDII even before it was mandatory.

FYI: obd2 "talks" to the scanner in a complicated communication scheme (much better and many, many more signalling protocols and messaging formats) passing all kinds of information (hundreds of bytes) using a standard all U.S. car manufacturers must adhere to. Obd1 pretty much just pulses an error code and all car manufacturers implemented it differently (thus you need a different scanner for every manufacturer). So there never can be an obd1 to obd2 adapter as the two are completely different things using different signaling protocols.
