3.4 Vehicle Coverage
The VC300 ORD II Scan Tool is specially designed to work with all OBD II compliant
vehicles, including those equipped with the next-generation 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).
For your vehicle to be OBD II compliant it must have a 16-pin DLC (Data Link Connector)
under the dash and the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label must state that the
vehicle is OBD II compliant.
