Buying a code reader, want to make sure I DO have OBDII
 

I'm buying a code reader and want to make sure I DO have OBDII before I spend all that money.

From what I have read here on the forum there are 3 types of systems on a 1995.

The give aways on mine is:

¤ 16 pin connector under the dash
¤ Computer located on the right side fender/wheel well
¤ The number 2 pin are in its place

Here is my OBDII connector:

There are NO text on the emission label that says OBDII or OBDI

Ordering my scanner this weekend so all help is much appreciated!

I think it depends on the month your truck was built, as that was the year they were changing from OBD 1 to OBD 2, so the 95's were OBD 1.5. My computer on my same model truck as yours was on the passenger side fender, and from what I can remember the emissions sticker said OBD 2, but you still need a scanner that can do both 1 and 2. I was able to find a guy on Kijiji who had a $500 scanner that could read both come and pull codes for me and I paid him $30. So do your research, 95 was a confusing year for Blazers.

As far as I know, it's not that simple. In the 95 model you had 3 different systems:

1. OBD 1 with 12 pin DLC and a PCM.
2. OBD 1.5 with 16 pin DLC and a PCM.
3. OBD2 with 16 pin DLC and a VCM.

The late year ones had OBDII installed as they ran out of OBDI, they just then went ahead with OBDII.

Maybe you can take it to Autozone and see if they can try there reader, or at least give you a clear answer. What a pain in the butt.

Just had the blazer scanned for codes with this:

This is just a simple OBDII code reader and It had no problem linking up and I did get a stored P0122 code. Guess that means that I do have OBDII:)

Right on, glad you got that straightened out. How much did it cost?

That one I just loaned to check, so that I don't know. I'm going to order myself one right now, but can't make up my mind. Might go for the Autotap one, or the Equus 3160.

Thank for all the help :):)

autozone has a OBDII scanner for around $49 its an actron model cp9125....bought one myself to keep in the tool box in the vehicle. works good for reading/clearing codes.
dont expect much more than that from it though.

At this point I think I would need a scanner not a reader as I first wrote.
I have an intermittent problem with rough idle an rich running. It doesn't always give a CEL so I need something that would monitor the sensors.

Thanks :)

Just to update this with some GOOD NEWS. I have recived my autoenginuity OBDII system some time ago, but have not had time to try it out.

But today I hooked it ut for the first time, and it works PERFECT!
