OBD-II NETWORK STANDARDS

All cars and light trucks built for sale in the United States after 1996 are required to
be OBD-II compliant. There are five OBD-II protocol types in use: J1850 PWM, J1850
VPW, ISO 9141-2, ISO 14230 KWP2000, and ISO 15765 CAN. Each protocol differs
electrically and by communication format. The Code Reader or Scan Tool must be
compatible with the vehicles specific protocol in order to communicate.

To determine which protocol your vehicle is using, you need to locate the Data Link
Connector. It's a 16-pin rectangular connector usually located below the steering
column, behind the ash tray or within at least 3-feet from the drivers seat. It may
also be located behind a snap off cover. The connector will not have all of the pins
loaded. You can examine which pins are present to identify which protocol is being
used. The diagrams below show all of the protocol pin positions.

After you determine your vehicles protocol, check your scan tools support list or
look into the scan tools connector to see if the mating pins are present.
