The
MaxiService
®
OLS301 Scanner is specially designed to work with
all OBD II compliant vehicles, including those equipped with
universal 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).
