I purchased a brand new AutoXray Code Reader from O'Reilly Auto Parts Company and it would not read the codes on my car. I have a 95 Z28 Camaro that i bought new; however, its an OBDI car with a OBDII ECM/PCM receptacle underneath the steering wheel. Do anyone know of a code reader that will work on my car?

 

Did you get the special cable that works with the 1995 OBD-I pcm and OBD-II type DLC connector? It should work fine, that is if you got an OBD-I scanner.

 

Take that scanner back and check out Ram Chargers. They have a "scanmaster" which will read your codes.

 

The Xray will work. I've used one for about 5 years on my 1995.

 

Ditto, it should work. I had the original and had it upgraded to ODB-II for $75. Now autoxray has an upgrade to CAN supported vehicles for $99. Might want to check their website for their tech support number and specials if interested.

What did the AutoX cost ya from OR?

 

Typical pricing

 

ttt

 

the two jumper wires will not work on a obd1 i have a 94 and know they dont .

 

but has the obd1 profile, the jumper method works fine I have a autoxray and it is hooked up this way.

 

I believe yorkie means jumping the appropriate connectors in the OBDII type connector to the OBDI style cable, not the 'paper clip' jumping method..[which doesn't work for 94+]

 

NOT the paperclip method.

 

the scanners seem to get pretty expensive.... how much better is the 500 dollar one vs $200 one

 

ah i see my B.
