The AutoLink



AL629 OBDII/EOBD Scanner is specially designed to work

with all OBD II compliant vehicles, including those equipped with

next-generation protocol -- Control Area Network (CAN). It is required by

EPA that all 1996 and newer vehicles (cars and light trucks) sold in the

United States must be OBD II compliant and this includes all Domestic,

Asian and European vehicles.

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.

In addition to OBD II diagnosis, the AL629 scan tool also supports the ABS,

SRS, Engine, and Transmission diagnosis functions, dealing with more

than 50 US, Asian and European vehicles, including Acura, Audi, Bentley,

Benz, BMW, Bugatti, Chrysler, Ford, EU Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti,

Isuzu, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Maybach, Mazda, Mini, Mitsubishi,

Nissan, Opel, Porsche, Saab, Scion, Seat, Skoda, Smart, Sprinter, Suzuki,
