Some of our most frequently asked questions on our OBDII and EOBD
tools are:
"I have seen these/similar products advertised as working on all 1996
and newer cars ­ why don't yours?"
"I've just bought an OBDII/EOBD tool from someone else that was
advertised as working with all 1996 and newer cars.
Why doesn't it work on my [1999 Vauxhall Vectra]?"
Here is the answer...
In 1996 in the United States, a Federal Law came into force requiring all
US­sold cars to be OBDII compliant. Most OBDII tools are therefore
advertised as working with all cars from 1996.
The OBDII Federal Law applied only to cars sold in the US .
In the UK and the rest of Europe, our equivalent law (European On­Board
Diagnostics, or EOBD) did not come into force, and more importantly,
was not fully implemented by our car manufacturers, until 2001 for petrol
cars (2003/4 for diesels).
Where an OBDII tool is sold in the UK/Europe claiming to work on all cars
from 1996, this is highly
unlikely to be the case .
Even where a seemingly identical car may have been sold in Europe and
the US before 2001, from our own testing and research, it is rarely the
case that the European model will be OBDII/EOBD compliant.
The fact that we sell these tools as only working with 2001 and newer
petrols (and similarly 2003/4 diesels) is due to the fact that we are being
honest in the coverage, rather than simply duplicating the sales
information from the US.
So do these tools work with any UK/European cars before 2001?
Yes they do, but certainly not across the board, and very rarely back as
