Vehicle Coverage
The MaxiLink ML529HD OBDII/EOBD Scanner is specially designed to work
with all OBD II compliant vehicles, including those equipped with the Control
Area Network (CAN) protocol. The EPA requires all domestic, Asian and
European vehicles, 1996 and newer (including light trucks), sold in the United
States must be OBD II compliant.
A small number of 1994 and 1995 model year gasoline vehicles are OBD II
compliant. To verify if a 1994 or 1995 vehicle is OBD II compliant, check the
Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) Label which is located under
the hood or by the radiator of most vehicles. If the vehicle is OBD II compliant,
the label will designate “OBD II Certified”. Additionally, government
regulations mandate that all OBD II compliant vehicles must have a “common”
sixteen-pin Data Link Connector (DLC).
For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin DLC (Data Link
Connector) under the dash and the Vehicle Emission Control Information
Label must state that the vehicle is OBD II compliant.
