Hey everyone,
So the law changed in my state to where I HAVE to have communication between OBDII and the scanner. but they say they can read an obdi with the same machine. so I was wondering if I could switch to obdI (since the engine is OBDI) and have it tested that way. any thoughts on this? Kevin |

IANAL, but i think legally, in the united states, you're not allowed. different states (and even locations within states sometimes) have different laws about what is required for an inspection though, so it may be something the authorities just don't care about in your area.
as far as physical capability goes. not really sure. in my understanding: its about the ecu you use because that is what the code readers talk to. so obd1 ecu means obd1 code reading. |
