OBD1 Code Scanner (16 pin terminal)
I searched the other threads but couldn't find an exact answer to my question. So the question is... what scanners (the cheaper the better) will read codes from an OBD1 with a 16 pin terminal (OBD2 style). I've read the jump technique (shoebox) for using an OBD1 scanner with a 16 pin terminal. Will this then flash the codes using the SES dash light? Or do I need a OBD1 scanner with a screen (I've seen some OBD1 scanners on-line that have no screen.) I guess I'd appreciate the exact scanner model used with success on my type of set-up so I have some confidence in my purchase.
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
(The problem: Shortly after starting the car the SES light comes on and stays on along with the radiator cooling fans on high.)

The cheapest thing is a sticky in the computer/diagnostics forum about the pc program scan9495. All you need is a cable and laptop (or PC that you may already have). Several scanners are mentioned in threads in that forum, as well. BTW, nothing later than 93 flashes codes.

The OBD-1 scanners without a screen are nothing more that a switch in a box that shorts the ALDL pins to flash the codes. As Rob points out, that does not work on your 95.

Update: I decided to purchase a pre-made cable ($67 shipped) to save some time (components for the $20 cable looked to be 2-3 weeks). I got the cable 4 days later (USPS) and downloaded the SCAN9495 program. It worked great! Thanks again for the information on this.
It turned out to be DTC 29 - secondary air injection circuit. After a little more research on this site I found out all I needed to do was replace the blown 20 AMP fuse for the air pump. Problem solved.
