OBD II did not exist until 1996. The DLC for OBD II did start getting phased in in 1995, but these were still OBD I cars. End of Discussion.

It seems like a troll, purposely trying to start some BS. Somebody lock this thread down and ban the troll.

 

Wow,I've been a half-azzed member here since 1997 (off and on) and I have never seen this kind of disrespect of a person who has volumes of information for everybody just for the asking.I don't go to the doctor if I have problem,AND TELL HIM WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.He problably knows a little more then I do.I've seen mechanics call on INJ. for advice.Sorry for the rant,but come on.My02.

 

Injuneer,

I agree it seems like this thread has hit rock bottom.

Please don't let a few inconsiderate folks get you down.

When we get people like this on the site, it really makes me wonder why I waste my time trying to help people. I'm spending more and more time on another site where we don't have people calling each other names. He wasn't satisfied with the PM, he went to my "Profile" and added a comment.

Why bother?

 

Oh my. That post manages to be completely rude and completely wrong at the same time. Quite a trick

Injuneer, I'm new to Camaros. I messed up and bought a 95.😅 do I just get a gm obd-I scanner and buy the connector that goes from the 12 to the 16? From what I have gathered that's what I do but I'd like to make sure before spending money on it. I'm sure you've gone over this a million times and I'm having a hard time finding any threads.( I don't know how to use these forums). Thank you in advance!

 

You need an OBD-1 scanner. Some brands, such as Auto X-ray have a 12-pin —> 16-pin converter connector available. If there is no converter available, you can use jumper wires, as shown by Shoebox:

Do not get an Actron CP9001 code scanner. That is simply a box with an internal switch that shorts a couple of the DLC pins together. Up through 1993 doing that caused the ECM to flash the code on the SES light. But 1993 was the last year that worked.

There are dual-format scanner’s that will work on both OBD-1 and OBD-2. But a couple of them have a corrupt database for the LT1 OBD-1 codes, and produce an invalid, false list of 7 codes. One of them is made by Equus. The other is the same scanner sold under a different name, but I can’t remember the name right now.

For the best results you can download free OBD-1 scanning/data logging software called Scan9495. It was written specifically for the 94 and 95 LT1 engines. The author is a member here, and can help with install issues. You would need to buy a 16-pin cable. I have a guide to interpreting the scan data, and can help by reviewing your log.
