obd 1
Hey, guys. I have an obd II code reader. Has anyone used the adapter I've seen on ebay to hook up to obd 1? My cen-tech instrument doesn't list
an adapter and I'm not sure the ones on ebay will work with all readers. I don't want to damage my reader. Any input?

Re: obd 1
umm you should include a link to the adapter and a link to the scanner you are using. I don't think those cheap scan tool are backwards compatable.

Re: obd 1
that was my instinct on it. Thanks UC. I'll just use the old "short pin 1 to pin 8" and count the flashes.

Re: obd 1
Followup on my "check engine" light problem. I used the "pin A to pin B" (not pin 1 to pin 8) jumper and found a code on my coolant temp sensor to ECM. Turned out to be a loose connection. Thanks again for the input.
