Obd

Is there an OBD system on the 95 model?

I know that the 96 and up have the OBD II system but I was wondering if the 95 model might have some form of it's predecessor (maybe ALDL or other). There is a bunch of info on the Web for GM pre 96 engine but never a mention of the GEO or Pontiac Firefly or Chevy Sprint.

I know that I can get the code with the fuse but for fun I was thinking of hooking up the laptop to the car.

Since the car wasn't actually designed or built by GM, but rather Suzuki, you could try searching Suzuki's page for info on their Swift pre-96 engine diagnostics info. Good luck :)

The '95 is an OBDII style data link. The Metro's switched from Tech1 (Chevy) to OBDII between the '94 and '95 production years. As a side note, the Metros didn't start installing Tech1 until '92. Both styles are readily available on Ebay. I bought a Vetronix (Chevy) Tech1 scanner a couple of years ago and love using it. It makes a lot of electronic and sensor troubleshooting easier because you see the same sensor data that the ECM sees. I think a paid about $100 each for the scanner and the necessary cartridge, for a total of $200. I have seen them both for cheaper on Ebay since. If anyone wants more info on this scanner, let me know.
