I can't get a link to my computer from the car's data port to my scanner. What should I check? The wires on the data port look fine. The car is a 95 V6 with OBD-II.

Thanks!

 

which program are you using, are you sure to have a (real) obd2 cable and not just the version for obd2 look a like connectors in 95 models?

 

So you're saying I could have an OBD-I computer with an OBD-II connector? My scanner is OBD-II.

 

i know from my 95 z28 that i have a obd2style connector and aldl (obd1)

 

i have the same bs thing in my car and i have a obd1 and obd2 scanner and i couldnt get it to work either

 

i'm sorry i have no clue about software for the 3800....

 

same as i have in my 95 3.4

 

Great, so I need an OBD-I scanner with OBD-II connector!

 

i got a scanner for obd1 and obd2 with several different connectors and it still dont work

 

yes you have an OBDII connector and the computer is an ALDL system. Here is the kicker on this one... The computer is programmed different than older ALDL computers and will not give the codes through the CEL if you ground the "A" pin. In fact it takes a special cable to adapt to the computer and be read. Good news is most readers that can read (not just blink) the ALDL codes can read your car with the proper cable. Contact your scanner's manufacturer about the cable. I sell the SUNPRO scanners at O'reillys and they offer the special cable it is like $30. My store has not been able to get the cables but you can order from the manu. These cables are used on Camaro, Corvette, some Cadillac, and I believe the LT1 Caprice/Impala in 94/95. Good luck in your search.
