kvaleras Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Hi, all! I recently purchased a basic scantool for OBD II from Harbor Freight (CEL was on for some time). When I tried to read the codes, here's what I got: 1) It displays ''LAUNCH'' (as it says in the manual). 2) Then it shows three dashes, then pauses, then shows the fourth dash and then it gives ''E''. I know there a trouble codes in my ECU (I flushed them couple of times - thanks to all your advice, users). Anyone who uses or used the mentioned scantool, I need your help! Does ''E'' mean empty, no codes? I do everything that is said on the manual, but maybe I'm missing something? Is there a chan ce the scantool is not suitable for my car? Thanks!

Hocrest Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Not all 95's are ODB2. That was the year they started using it, some had it, some didn't. I'm not sure but I think even the ones without it had the connector??? Maybe take it to Autozone or one of the other places that reads ODB2 codes for free and see what they come up with?

kvaleras Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 Well, the thing is that my subie is OBDII equipped. That's why I bought the scanner in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avk Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I'd second the Autozone suggestion, to remove any uncertainty about the scanner. Their scanner (Actron brand) does work with my '95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
